About this tour
This seven-hour private boat excursion takes you across Bora Bora's lagoon with six hours devoted to snorkeling at multiple reef sites. Your captain navigates toward manta rays, eagle rays, sharks, and seasonal cetaceans while you explore vibrant coral formations along the inner and outer reefs. A motu lunch break anchors the day. The small-group format (maximum four passengers) means you control the itinerary's rhythm, and all snorkel gear, towels, and refreshments travel with you. Hotel transfer and pickup bookend the experience.

What to expect
After hotel pickup, you'll board a comfortable vessel with cabin space to stow belongings. Your guide positions the boat over snorkeling sites where you'll descend into clear water teeming with reef life—coral formations, rays gliding overhead, and resident fish schools. Each site lasts 20–40 minutes depending on conditions and wildlife activity. Around midday, you'll anchor at a motu for a prepared lunch and beach time to dry off. The return journey includes final snorkeling or relaxation on deck. Boat motion is gentle in calm conditions but can swell during rougher days.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, hat, and UV-blocking shirt—sun exposure intensifies over water. Moderate swimming ability required. Infants sit on adult laps; children need adult supervision. Snorkel equipment provided, though many travelers prefer bringing their own mask. The guide may speak multiple languages.
