Bora Bora: Half Day Island 4WD Guided Tour

Bora Bora: Half Day Island 4WD Guided Tour - World War II canons on Bora Bora, and why inland facts matter

1.Bora Bora: Half Day Island 4WD Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 440 reviews · from $91Our pick

Open-air 4WD in Bora Bora for lagoon views, WWII sites, tie-dye sarongs and coconut oil, fruit stops, and sparkling wine at sunset.

“We took two different island tours during our day in Bora Bora, and this by far was the most adventuresome and had the best opportunities for spectacular views. The tour did not start off well since there wasn’t anyone to formally meet us with a sign with our names so there was a lot of confusion at the beginning.”

2.Half-Day Guided Hike to Afareaitu Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · from $97Top rated

Guided half-day hike to Afareaitu Waterfall in Moorea, with cultural temple ruins, a guided swim, and a fresh fruit tasting by the river.

“I can't express how welcoming the staff was. A great experience learning about the plants and uses of the plants. The guides pointed out many ruins and discussed the christian destruction of these artifacts. The hike was sometimes a challenge as it had recently rained, but the guides were very professional and helpful you navigate the trail. We ended the tour with a beautiful lunch of fresh fruit from the garden. The presentation was breathtaking. I can't recommend this tour enough.”

He really strives to take care of his guests. His 4x4 truck is nice and the seats in the back of the truck are soft and comfortable. You are well protected from the sun. His tour is new but do not let that worry you. I would recommend Heirani's tour to all my family and friends.”
