Overview

Our excursion offers an authentic Bora Bora lagoon safari designed for guests who value quality, ethics and small groups. We operate with very limited numbers on board, visit multiple sites chosen daily based on conditions, and observe marine life in its natural environment without feeding or staging encounters. Led by experienced local guides, our tours regularly encounter manta rays, eagle rays, turtles, dolphins, and vibrant coral gardens, while respecting French Polynesia's wildlife protection laws. Every trip is different, personal and driven by nature - making it a genuine, responsible and unforgettable snorkeling experience.

    What To Expect

    This 3.5 hour tour by boat will take you to 3 or 4 separate snorkeling spots around the most beautiful lagoon in the world. The itinerary of the tour is never fixed and depends on the conditions of the day. We include a manta ray stop, a stop at the inner reef to see a natural coral garden abundant with life, an eagle ray stop and, if we have time, a fourth stop decided on the day taking into account conditions and things you may already have seen during your time here. The animals are seen in their natural environment and we do not partake in feeding or visit any sites where animals are artificially attracted by feeding (most notably the site where you can be in very shallow water with blacktip reef sharks and stingrays). Shark and ray feeding has been illegal in French Polynesia since October 2017, and we strictly respect both the law and ethical wildlife practices.
    The beauty of Bora Bora provides the perfect backdrop to the tour and you can soak this in as we cruise from spot to spot.
    We remain committed to small groups, responsible tourism, and respectful wildlife encounters, and we thank our many guests who choose us specifically for these values.
