Swim with blacktip reef sharks, stingrays, manta rays, and tropical fish on a four-hour Bora Bora lagoon safari with hotel pickup.
“We travel a lot and therefore often participate in local excursions. Bora Bora was the first time we got more on an excursion than the description stated. The description mentioned three snorkeling stops without making any further promises. We got the full Bora Bora itinerary: the Coral Garden, blacktip sharks, stingrays, eagle rays, manta rays (!). WHAM! The full itinerary, in fact. We also looked for dolphins, but if there aren't any in the bay, there aren't any in the bay. As a group of nine, it was a relaxed snorkeling experience; drinks, good cheer, and explanations of Bora Bora were well taken care of. We'll definitely keep the phone…”

“La gita in mare è stata davvero emozionante, abbiamo visto una manta, le razze, gli squali e il giardino di corallo è spettacolare. Unica pecca forse è stato un po’ frettoloso (ma la giornata di vento forse rendeva difficile alcuni spostamenti). Il tour a terra ci è piaciuto tantissimo, la nostra guida Teva, era gentilissima, ci ha portato sulla cima, a vedere molti alberi da frutto, abbiamo assistito (e comprato) alla creazione dei parei e poi siamo andati sulla cima opposta dell’isola. Il pranzo al ristorante è stato ottimo (forse anche qui la cameriera era un po’ frettolosa nonostante ci fosse abbastanza tempo per fare tutto).”

Leonie was our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, not only taking us to all of the amazing spots but also taking the time to explain the history of them and teach us about Polynesian culture. We had such a great time! It is a somewhat rugged type of adventure, which is exactly what we wanted, but if you are thinking about booking this tour, know that it will be a little bumpy and you…”
