What To Expect
This 3.5 hour tour by boat will take you to 3 or 4 separate snorkeling spots around the most beautiful lagoon in the world. The itinerary of the tour is never fixed and depends on the conditions of the day. We include a manta ray stop, a stop at the inner reef to see a natural coral garden abundant with life, an eagle ray stop and, if we have time, a fourth stop decided on the day taking into account conditions and things you may already have seen during your time here. The animals are seen in their natural environment and we do not partake in feeding or visit any sites where animals are artificially attracted by feeding (most notably the site where you can be in very shallow water with blacktip reef sharks and stingrays). Shark and ray feeding has been illegal in French Polynesia since October 2017, and we strictly respect both the law and ethical wildlife practices. The beauty of Bora Bora provides the perfect backdrop to the tour and you can soak this in as we cruise from spot to spot. We remain committed to small groups, responsible tourism, and respectful wildlife encounters, and we thank our many guests who choose us specifically for these values.

Great snorkeling/ boat trip

5.00My husband and I and two of our friends booked this trip as an excursion while staying in Bora Bora with a cruise. We saw lots of fish and the coral garden was amazing. One of the highlights was the boat trip around the island to go to the different snorkeling spots. Loved that there were only 6 people on the boat and our guide was fantastic.

5.00Rudolph was great - we saw eagle rays, manta rays, and the amazing coral garden. And as a bonus a huge pod of dolphins visited. By far the best snorkeling we have ever done.

2.00Pure commerce , poor care, decidedly too expensive. Little seen. Overall, the visit to Bora Bora was very disappointing, if you know it from about 20 years ago.

5.00The personal approach with our group of four was so much better than being in a big group from the ship. Vincent and Teri always made sure that we were safe and enjoying our time. Teri taught us a lot about the sea life. Vincent talked about the surrounding areas. We would definitely do this excursion again!
Amazing experience

5.00We managed to nab a last minute bookint the night before.We were very impressed with out trip out with Vince. He was super knowlegable and interesting, he made us feel very comfortable both on boat and in the water. He was also very respectful of the marine life and coral which we appreciated We were lucky enough to see eagle rays, manta rays, turtles and had a gorgeous snorkle around the coral garden. The boat was very modern and immaculately clean. The refreshments were much appreciated. Vince also acted as a tour guide, pointing out some amazing snorkle spots close to our accomodation that we could return to. Absolutely recommend
Awesome trip
