We did this 3 hour excursion during our honeymoon and had a blast! The crew was fantastic and friendly and picked us up and dropped us off on the main island from Matira beach. We saw sea turtles, sharks and an army of dolphins while on the tour, plus had a short snorkeling stop. We also saw eagle rays which was very cool. Would recommend. Guides spoke English as well

My parents joined this trip on their own, they can’t speak English, but still had a wonderful time and were very well look after by Sandrine and her team, they had all the explanation translated on the phone so that my parents can read, so sweet. My parents truly enjoyed this trip.

A unique excursion in Bora Bora, perfect for discovering the lagoon with the whole family! This glass-bottom boat allowed us to explore the lagoon and its treasures in a different way compared to other tours offered on the island. While staying dry, we were able to observe the marine life (manta rays, eagle rays, and a multitude of fish) that we wouldn’t usually see with regular snorkeling — which is perfect for children! A snorkeling stop is also included in the tour for the more adventurous. The team was welcoming, friendly, and very pleasant, sharing with us insights about the lagoon, its history, and its hidden secrets… We highly recommend this unique and fun-filled excursion on the island of Bora Bora!

The boat was immaculate. The crew was at the top of their game. We were made to feel relaxed and happy with our surroundings. The level of service over reached our expectations.

An excellent option for our family with 2 young kids so they could actually see all the underwater life ! We had tried snorkeling earlier in the week but one kid is too young and one not a strong swimmer so snorkeling in the deeper waters to see rays, black-tipped sharks, etc was not an option for them. This trip on the boat with underwater cabin was exactly what we were looking for. The kids were THRILLED to see all the different fish, rays, sharks, and turtles, and the adults also had a couple of opportunities to snorkel if they wanted to. Also fruit and drinks on board and a wonderful, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend for families looking for options their littles can actually enjoy.

What a cool experience. I won’t go in the ocean for long and don’t want to be around fish because it freaks me out. This was the perfect opportunity for me to be able to see the sea life. There is a stop for snorkeling so my husband who snorkels could get in the water. The crew were all very friendly and took time to educate us on the ocean and the fish. They went out of their way to make sure everyone could see the fish, rays, turtles and sharks. We had a great time. If you get sea sick or have problems getting dizzy easily, take some Dramamine first.
