Richard – Australia

We had the most amazing day with Tau, our guide, who went above and beyond to make our day special. Awesome swimming with sharks and rays, and beautiful snorkeling in the coral gardens. Thank you Tau, your passion for Bora Bora is infectious and your music making is fantastic!

Greg – Australia

Fantastic service and a wonderful experience!! After our first trip had to finish early due to a sudden change in the weather we were thrilled to be able to go again later in the week. Both guides we had - Tau and Aro - were awesome and a pleasure to be with. They clearly love their jobs and were very proud of their “home”. Would definitely go again!

Full description

Join a guided snorkeling tour of the Bora Bora lagoon to discover pristine turquoise waters teeming with tropical sea life. Stop at 3 separate locations, each one frequented by different species. Meet your guide at your selected pickup location and hop aboard a traditional motorized outrigger. Your first stop takes you to a spot where you'll be able to swim with stingrays. These elegant and majestic creatures are very curious and friendly, allowing you to get up close to them.
From here, you'll move on to your second snorkeling location for the day, one of the best-preserved coral gardens in the lagoon. Explore this underwater paradise and admire the colorful tropical fish before heading to your third and final snorkeling spot.
Last but by no means least, your final encounter for the day is with blacktip and lemon sharks. For a truly memorable experience, hop into the lagoon and swim with these impressive animals.
Both shark species are regarded as shy and docile and viewed as everyday companions in French Polynesia. Your guide will join you in the water to ensure that you are comfortable. And if you prefer, you can also choose to stay onboard and take in this moment from the boat.
Before heading back to your pickup location, stop at a sandbank to enjoy some refreshments. Savor handmade coconut bread served alongside fresh seasonal fruit while admiring views of Mount Otemanu. Eat your snacks aboard the outrigger or step into the warm, shallow waters one last time.
