Top 15 Lagoon Tours in French Polynesia

61 reviewed

The lagoon tour is the format the whole country runs on: a small boat, a few snorkel stops, and a table laid out on a sandbar somewhere around one o’clock. These 15 are the best of them across Bora Bora, Mo’orea, Taha’a and Raiatea, with what each costs, how many people are aboard and how much of the day is actually spent in the water.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 630 reviews · from $158

Full-day Bora Bora lagoon cruise with guided snorkeling for stingrays, black-tip reef sharks, and manta rays plus lunch on a private motu.

“Tour was great. The weather was not the best, water was choppy. Manu and Moana were great hosts and we ended up being able to see everything even if the stingrays stops were choppy and not as clear. 100% would recommend. I would recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it. I will not dock them for not having the best snorkeling gear since they provide for everyone. But I do feel the experience would have been better had I brought better gear. Manu was willing to record some underwear video for me when I was struggling without any floatation devices. Family dinner was good! Not best tasting…”

“Amazing and enjoyable tour. The amount of fish & sharks we saw was wonderful. The snorkeling tour guide & his cousin were the best from giving information to entertaining us. Lunch on a motu was excellent sitting at tables with our feet in the water. Then off to meet our 4 x 4 tour run by a brother of the snorkeling guide. We saw much of the island & went up 2 mountains to see the view of the bay below. Overall an excellent day that will stay in our memories forever.”

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! Picked up by private car, escorted to the boat, had an incredible Captain called Ramone, we visited many snorkeling spots and he gave us great information about Bora Bora and their traditions. 4hrs flew by but worth every penny! Had amazing interactions with Black tip reef sharks, Stingrays, Manta rays and Butterfly fish! Waters are sooooo clear it’s a joke! Ramone was the best captain, he sung to us, provided fruits and drinks and looked after our every need. 10/10 tour would happily do again and again. ❤️❤️❤️”
