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

Spend about six hours on Bora Bora’s lagoon with a local crew such as Manu, Ari, or Moana. Swim with stingrays and black-tip reef sharks, search for manta and eagle rays, snorkel above coral gardens, then eat a barbecue lunch on a private motu with coconut demonstrations, music, and wide island views. Hotel and port pickup are included.

“The tour stopped at the same snorkelling spots as several others and so it was rather crowded in the water and we also felt rather rushed, given that as soon as we reached the motu for lunch we had far too much time there with no snorkelling or anything else afterwards.

He even held my baby so I could get into the water, something I truly appreciated (Thank you so so much). He was absolutely wonderful, explained so much, and was always in a great mood. While we were snorkeling, he even brought out his ukulele and started singing! We saw sharks, rays, dolphins, mantas, and so…”
