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…”

His generational knowledge came from his own family history, as well as that of the ancestors that loved and protected the island of Bora Bora's natural resources and marine life. There are simply no words to accurately describe the beauty that we experienced on this 3 hour trip. Tubuna took us to locations where my husband and I were the ONLY 2 people in the sea to experience the black tip sharks and rays. We could see…”
