10/10 Private Snorkeling and Lunch Experience
Andrew M,,Nov 3, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00My wife and I did the private snorkeling and lunch experience recently and it was amazing! Our guide Teiva was so friendly and he knew all the best spots to see some amazing wildlife. He brought us to 5 spots in total, seeing something incredible at each one. We saw Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Sting Rays and Black Tip Sharks. We got to swim with each of them and observe them from the water. We wrapped up snorkeling by going to a coral farm where we got to swim around and see some awesome tropical fish we hadn't already. After snorkeling we went to a small private island for a fantastic traditional Tahitian lunch with lots of chicken, rice, potatoes, and salad. Overall the experience was one of, if not the best, we had during our 2-week stay in French Polynesia. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for great snorkeling (it was also each of our first time snorkeling in open water!)
If You Like Snorkeling, Book It!

5.00To start, it rained most the time and we STILL had an amazing time! Pickup was seamless at our resort dock and our guide was already there waiting for us. First stop was to snorkel with Manta Rays. Incredible! Way bigger and more majestic in person. The pictures don’t do it justice. Then off to stand is shallow water with stingrays and black tip reef sharks. So cool! Then to snorkel with spotted eagle rays, about 10 of them. Next stop was the nearby coral gardens. It’s like snorkeling in an aquarium! Then a boat ride to the west side of the island to more eagle rays, this time about 50 of them, and another manta ray. Lunch on the motu was amazing. Table in the water and the food was amazing! Teriyaki chicken, the local tuna/coconut milk dish, fried rice, noodle dish, curry potatoes and veggies, coconut bread, and a bottle of rose. Just amazing. Again, it was rainy and cold, and we would still give this 10 out of 5 stars. Just amazing. Book it!
It was an unforgettable...

5.00The snorkeling was the best we have experienced in many years, we got to swim with fish & sharks. The coral reef was the highlight with so many vibrant colors & many colorful fish. The lunch on the private Motu was amazing. The food was better than anything else we enjoyed while on Bora Bora, Including at the five star resort. And the experience of having lunch with our feet in the lagoon, with the specially set table with all natural decorations & plates was unique. Our guide made us feel special. He played his ukulele and sang while we ate. We wanted leave the confines of the resort and see Bora Bora. This tour delivered.
Unbelievable experience!

5.00This was the most incredible tour we could have taken. Our amazing guide showed us dolphins, stingrays, sharks, eagle rays, coral gardens & even a manta ray! The homemade lunch on the private motu was better than any of the resort dinners we’ve had all trip. The entire tour Could not have been more perfect!!
Fantastic private tour - highly recommend

5.00An amazing experience!! We so enjoyed our private tour with Ken. He was at our hotel on time (earlier than expected), was exceptionally kind and showed us all around Bora Bora. Snorkeling was out of this world! Manta rays, Eagle rays, Coral Garden variety of fish and plentiful stingrays and sharks. I am a very nervous swimmer/snorkeler and uncomfortable in groups. Ken made it so easy!! He even held my hand pointing to the best views of the animals and kept me safe the whole time. HIGHLY recommend!! The lunch was incredible also, super fresh food, colorful table and incredible setting❤️ Super special day for our 25th wedding anniversary!
It was ok… nothing fancy.

3.00It was nice to experience this but I don’t think I’d pay that much for the limited time and things we did.
Great snorkeling and picnic experiences just for you.
