2.Full-Day Bora Bora Lagoon Cruise Including Snorkeling with Sharks and Stingrays

★★★★★★★★★★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. There was a parao-making demo and coconut opening but we'd rather have spent more time in the water. The vibe wasn't really there on the boat compared with other tours we'd done on other islands. There was a lot of confusion with people being added to and removed from the group and the guide seemed somewhat nervous. There was…”

“The most wonderful tour I've ever experienced. We were picked up directly from our hotel beach by boat. The group was small, and all our wishes were taken into account.I went on this tour alone with my two children, and I’m still amazed by how well our tour guide, Malaki, took care of us. 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…”

Spend four hours on Bora Bora’s lagoon with guides such as Ramon, Ian, Alex, or Manu, stopping at shark and ray sites and a coral garden. You’ll snorkel with tropical fish, enjoy fruit and drinks, and hear local stories in English or French. Small groups are common, though conditions and animal sightings can vary.

“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…”

“Hiro was a HERO! He picked us up at time at the location of our choice (Bora Bora Beach Club) and we boarded the sleek, comfortable boat with shade cover. He went over some details and whished us off to our visit snorkel stop, Coral Gardens. This was incredible! He led us through the Gardens and pointed out different fish and whatnot. We had recently been to Opal Reef at the Great Barrier reef and felt that this was even better. We then went to an area where Hiro had seen Manta Rays earlier and SURE ENOUGH, we saw two. One even did the feeding loop de loop under us.…”

“This was our 3rd tour on the trip and we thought we had seen it all. We were wrong. Ken was a most pleasant & amiable guide, and took us to the most incredible spots. It truly was the best snorkeling we had ever experienced. We swam among beautiful fish (and lots of them), sharks, string rays, giant manta rays, and large eels (which he was actually petting!). A delicious and plentiful lunch was enjoyed in beautiful setting with our feet in the water and brightly colored fish swimming around our legs. It was an amazing day. Thank you Ken for the memorable time!”
