★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 968 reviews · from $143

“Went yesterday - the lagoon was really stirred up and literally " overflowing" due to storm.We only went snorkeling around motu by the airport - the coral was nice, but not much fish . The Capitan kept driving the boat in rough ocean to various sights, just to prove to us, that it was too dangerous to get in and the sights were closed. An experienced tour provider should have recognized it and cancelled the trip. As I understand the animal sightings are not a guarantee, but given the status of the ocean it was predictable. I felt like a stupid tourist taken advantage of...On top of it I saw…”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

“Unbelievable experience. The views are unmatched. The beauty is unforgettable. You will be standing a lot. The road is an off road experience . I would have loved a pair of workout gloves for holding onto the rails while standing. Definitely get in the river to cool and refresh. It is a workout to stand with knees bent to cushion bumps and hanging onto the rails- just to be aware when booking.”
