Peak life experience
Vincent was our guide for a morning tour and he was fantastic! His passion for sea life and his expert navigation skills made us excited to learn and comfortable on the water. Our peak life experience was swimming with three manta rays. We also snorkeled with eagle rays and sting rays and saw a beautiful coral garden. Vincent has helped inspire us to return to Bora Bora. We are incredibly grateful for your time and the experience. Until next time, be well! Best, Hillary and Bruce San Diego, CA

Great tour, wouldn’t recommend for young kids
Tour was great, we got to see two Manta Rays and few eagle rays. Weather was a bit windy and cloudy so the visibility wasn’t the best. Our guide Vincent was great and knowledgeable. We brought our daughter with us (4 year old) and I would not recommend to take your small kids with you. Open ocean water especially when the weather is not ideal can be challenging for kids.
Operator response
Ia orana Orchlon, Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed Vincent's guidance. We do not go in the open ocean for our excursions but stay inside the lagoon where it is more protected. We understand that going at sea for a four year old can feel challenging especially on a windy day. Many children join our excursions and have a wonderful time, but each child is different. Parents are best placed to decide wether the trip suits their children and remain responsible for supervising them throughout the excursion. It sometimes means taking turns to look after them if they do not want to participate. Our guides are happy to help in these circumstances but on a shared excursion the crew has to manage the safety of the tour for everybody. Thank you for sahring your experience. it will help other families make the right choice fo rtheir children. Kindest regards David

Amazing way to see Bora Bora snorkeling highlights!
This tour was amazing! David is clearly very experienced and made sure everyone on the tour was comfortable, with life jackets or pool noodles available to make for a relaxing swim. He showed us 4 cool spots around the lagoon, and we saw manta rays, beautiful coral gardens, a huge group of spotted eagle rays, stingrays and sharks! Drinks were available on the boat, too. Thanks David for a great tour!

Perfect Snorkeling experience
This was a truly memorable experience. Everything was perfect including our captain , ( I think Rudolph) who went above and beyond to assist and guide. Highly recommend!

Good option to see the essentials of the Bora Bora lagoon and avoid group tours.
Great afternoon with Terai; he commits to showing us manta rays and leopard rays, and the coral garden where he accompanies us. He is efficient, attentive, and knows the lagoon well. There were only 4 of us, and he took us to 2 sites to see 3 magnificent manta rays. Then we came across a group of about fifteen leopard rays. Mission accomplished.
