5.00We traveled to Bora Bora via the Oceania Nautical. Cruise offered snorkeling excursions but we wanted something a little more relaxed. Paid only slightly more than cruise excursion and had 4 hours to ourselves to visit all the great snorkeling spots with just us and our captain. He had snorkel gear, towels, drinks and snacks all ready for us. We saw sharks, sting and Manta rays, dolphins and the coral aquarium. Just simply amazing!!!!
An unforgettable experience, the best of the lagoon and the most beautiful Polynesian canoe we have ever seen!!!

5.00Here was awesome!!! He made us feel like family and introduced us to locals that were like family to him. We had an amazing lunch with them. Black tip sharks, manta rays, and eagle rays were seen during our excursion. I won’t ruin the experience but ask him about his boat and his family. We will 100% be clients again. Here, Māuruuru roa!
Daring to swim with sharks!

5.00My husband (age 74) and I (age 73) had a private tour with Captain Heri. I am a super anxious person and was not interested in snorkeling with sharks (black tip) but Heri, gently, encouraged me to try it and I did. It was quire easy and I felt safe because the sharks, and there were many, did not appear menacing. Additionally with a life vest I felt more confident. We also say manta rays as well as a snorkeling tour of the coral garden. Throughout each of the stops Heri got in the water with us and made sure we were comfortable. Heri's boat is beautiful and comfortable. He is an incredible host, he sang for us and played the ukulele. He also had a very good bottle of champagne veuve clicquot. This tour may appear expensive and it is but it was worth every dollar and of all our experiences in Bora Bora this one will always be the most memorable. You will not regret it.
Five stars on a very safe and fun tour!

The best of the best!

5.00Perfect sums it up accurately! The boat, hand crafted, was a real beauty and lended to the overall Polynesian vibe. Obviously built for it’s native waters it provided a comfortable ride and provided areas with shade or sun. The sound system was superb and you are welcome to play your own play list. This was a last minute adventure for us and we were delighted by the cooler with a variety of drinks provided and although we had our own gear, nice snorkeling equipment was available on board. Life jackets and other safety features were in plain site. The captain, Herenui, was a real delight and took us to the best places….absolutely the best snorkeling of our trip. The cruise around the Island was one stunning view after another!
Exhilarating yet Peaceful

5.00The entire trip was awesome, we snorkeled at several different locations being able to pet stingrays, swim with sharks, watch a pack of manta rays, and even swim above eagle rays. Not only that our boat captain Harry was amazing, offering us amazing fruit as well as great drinks. He also allowed us to play our own music or choose to listen to his own. Overall a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic snorkeling trip in Bora Bora.
