“Boat: The boat was comfortable and we had enough space. It was big enough and the sea was calm for us so it was a smooth ride. Staff: The guides and assistants were all nice and helpful. There were about 50 guests and it felt like an adequate number of staff. Activities: The conditions weren’t ideal for snorkeling but that’s of course not the company’s fault. The kayaking, however, was lovely. There was an opportunity to kayak a second time as well. A highlight for me was climbing to the viewpoint on Wua Ta Lap Island. This is no joke of a hike as it’s 500 meters up steep uneven…”

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

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

Spend about six hours with local guides such as Manu, Ari, Moana, or Rai, visiting manta rays, stingrays, black-tip reef sharks, and coral gardens. Lunch, snorkeling equipment, hotel or port transfers, coconut demonstrations, and live music are included, though fins may not be.

“Tour was great. The weather was not the best, water was choppy. Manu and Moana were great hosts and we ended up being able to see everything even if the stingrays stops were choppy and not as clear. 100% would recommend. I would recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it. I will not dock them for not having the best snorkeling gear since they provide for everyone. But I do feel the experience would have been better had I brought better gear. Manu was willing to record some underwear video for me when I was struggling without any floatation devices. Family dinner was good! Not best tasting…”

“It was a lovely hike overall but I wish we stayed longer on the 5th beach instead of the first one which was extremely crowded and not that hidden. The last 4th and 5th beaches were the best and would be nice to switch it around and hangout there instead of the first ones which have too many boats and tourists. The hike itself was lovely and super fun.”
