Full Day Lagoon Group Tour in Bora Bora with Lunch

1.Full Day Lagoon Group Tour in Bora Bora with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,423 reviews · from $184Our pick

Spend about six hours on Bora Bora’s lagoon with a small group of no more than 12. Guides such as Tau, Boby, Rolly, and Manu lead you to coral gardens, stingrays, and blacktip sharks, then serve a local buffet lunch on a motu with views of Mount Otemanu.

“Manu and the captain were truly exceptional, warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Our youngest son had his arm in a cast, and the way they went above and beyond to make our family feel comfortable and special was unforgettable. They assisted us on and off the boat and even took our son out privately to snorkel so he could still experience the sharks and stingrays safely. That alone meant the world to us. From live music to incredible food right by the beach, literally with manta rays and fish swimming under the table, it was an unforgettable setting. The experience felt thoughtful and elevated in every detail. Unlike many tours…”

Cruise Bora Bora’s lagoon in a covered boat with up to eight people, stopping at manta ray and eagle ray sites, coral gardens, and possibly shark and stingray areas. Guides such as Umi, Niko, Noé, and Kevin are praised for patient instruction and close attention in the water.

“Kevin was our guide and we felt so lucky to get him because he knows the waters well and respects the ocean and creatures within it! We saw manta rays, sting rays and eagle rays. The rainbow reef was the most beautiful reef we’ve ever encountered. Kevin was extremely gentle and patient with our 8&9 year old boys. They felt safe and supported while on this amazing adventure. Bonus points were listening to Kevin play on his ukulele during some of our trip. His voice was magical! 10/10 all the way around. Thank you Kevin for making our bora bora trip even more magical with this experience”

Getting into the water with the black tip reef sharks was both exhilarating and terrifying, but our guide helped us feel comfortable & safe in the water. Afterwards, we drove to the coral garden to snorkel. I have never seen such beautiful colors and so many colorful fish, clams & other sea life. I highly recommend this trip! Bring a camera because pictures speak much louder than words ever could to describe this adventure.”

The tour did not start off well since there wasn’t anyone to formally meet us with a sign with our names so there was a lot of confusion at the beginning.”

15.Island Tour & Getaway on the Bora Bora Mountains by Quad / ATV

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 326 reviews

Ride a quad around Bora Bora with guides such as Tahi, H, Caleb, Mana, and Thomas. Expect a Vaitape crossing, lagoon lookouts, road sections, muddy mountain trails, Mount Otemanu views, island history, exotic fruit, refreshments, and coconut bread.

“The perfect excursion to get a tour of the land surrounding the city of Vaitape. Booking was quick and easy. Tahi was an excellent guide, sharing some of Bora Bora’s rich history and Tahitian culture while keeping relevant to the tour. We experienced a bit of wind and rain the first quarter of our ride, but we thought of it as a beautiful and adventurous taste of island life. Throughout the tour we felt safe and accommodated. While the off-roading can be a bit rough, if you’re able to persevere each climb through the muddy and rocky terrain you’re rewarded with serene and unique views only this tour can provide.…”
