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.

Small Group - Big fun!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Wilson and Raoul. They found amazing eagle rays that we swam with (which was magical) and also a Manta ray. After the rays, we went to a Coral Garden and saw beautiful fish, coral as we drifted in the beautiful water. We saw so much of Bora Bora from the water - which is a GREAT view. Highly recommend! The small group makes it just soooo comfortable.
Exciting adventure

5.00This was a great tour but be aware that it involves swimming in deep water. They offer life jackets and flippers, take them. You will see Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, and tons of other fish. It was great but you will need to be able to swim some distance.
Beautiful snorkeling adventure

5.00I and my husband cannot swim but could do this activity without much difficulty. As long as you are comfortable in water, you can do this activity with ease. We saw so many manta rays, beautiful corals and underwater colorful fishes ..we even shot an underwater video..
Another Great Tour with H2O Bora Bora

5.00After a bunch of stays in Bora Bora, my favorite tour company is still H2O Bora Bora. It is always a pleasure to deal with Aimee for the booking process and her partner David for the tour. The 5.0 TripAdvisor mark tells it all. Looking forward for a feet in the water lunch on a motu for our next tour. We'll be back!
Wonderful water excursion!

5.00We just wanted to say how wonderful H2O is. Aimee who I texted and spoke to several times it was so accommodating and our captain Terai was amazing. We went out twice with him and the first time was quite stormy, but he was so determined to help us find the mantas and the eagle rays and took us to some beautiful coral , as well. He was amazing. On the second trip we had really nice weather and again another wonderful trip. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting BoraBora. We are from Hawaii so we can really appreciate a good water excursion! Mahalo and Mahaaruru

5.00One of the highlights of our 7 days in French Polynesia! Teira, our guide and driver was waiting for us in Vaitape in a beautiful Four Winds boat. There were six of us including my 92 year old father in law. Teira. We recommend him as highly as possible. He was so helpful in getting my father in law in and out of the boat and helping him navigate the coral gardens. We saw Manta Rays, Eagle rays, one reef shark and of course the most amazing colors of coral and wildlife that Bora Bora is famous for. Fantastic value and heartwarming customer service. And we chose this at the last minute, the night before we went on the excursion.
Best Excursion Ever!
David B,Mar 8, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This was our best excursion in French Polynesia during our 10 day cruise. Our guide, David, and assistant, Rau, met us at the cruise port. We quickly got onto the comfortable speed boat and began our tour around the island. David provided us with a wealth of knowledge, not only about Bora Bora, but also about the marine life, the coral reefs, the motus (small islands), and so much more. The snorkeling was the best we have ever experienced and we have been to the Great Barrier Reef! After visiting the coral gardens, we went to another area and followed a group of 11 rays. It was everything we could ever have dreamed about. Safety was stressed throughout our tour. I would highly recommend this experience!

5.00Rudoph (Rudie) did a wonderful job of not only transporting us and guiding us but also educating us on this snorkeling adventure. He sincerely cares about the sea life and ecosystems as well as his passengers and their experience. We learned a lot from him and saw some incredible rays and fish.
Top Boat Trip In Bora Bora

5.00We had a very personal service all the way. We arrived at the port from our cruise ship and were met by Aimee, the owner. The beautiful speed boat arrived on time and Rudy the captain took us straight off to see Manta Rays and then later Eagle Rays. He then took us to see the spectacular coral garden. He had all the equipment if you needed any and gave us as much time as we wanted in each location. We would highly recommend this company.
