Great treasure hunt tour.
Our guide Fabien was really great! We had an excellent morning. The children are delighted and the adults have also become children again... we were amazed. A special mention for our guide Fabien: kindness, safety, knowledge, sharing, and a very good sense of humor! We highly, highly, highly recommend it!

Unforgettable morning! Thank you Fabien!
An absolutely unforgettable morning with Fabien in the Bora Bora lagoon!
We discovered breathtaking landscapes, waters of unreal beauty, and incredible marine life. But what really made this experience exceptional was Fabien. Passionate, funny, attentive, and extremely professional, he knew how to share his love for Bora Bora while adapting perfectly to our family.
The children loved every moment, we felt safe from start to finish, and we learned a lot about the lagoon and its inhabitants. You can feel that he deeply loves what he does, and that makes all the difference.
If you are looking for an authentic excursion, far from overly touristy outings, look no further: go with Fabien. It is without a doubt one of the best memories of our trip to Polynesia.
Mauruuru, Fabien, for this magical morning! 🌴🐠🦈💙

Private tour worth it!
We had a wonderful tour with Reef Discovery and would absolutely recommend the private option. We are experienced snorkelers and swimmers and it was so nice to be able to choose our own pace and how long we spent at each stop. The stops are all pre-determined so it wasn't as flexible as I had hoped but we saw everything we wanted and more. The highlight was the coral garden- the most spectacular snorkeling we've ever experienced and not to be missed. It was especially special as due to some great timing, we had it all to ourselves for at least an hour. The tour was very expensive compared with other tours we took on this trip but lines up with Bora Bora pricing and was worth the splurge. Reef Discovery are clearly good stewards of the marine life and we were giving instructions at each stop of how and how not to interact with or interfere with mantas and other species, which is always appreciated.

Ia Orana,

We are so happy to hear such good things about your experience with us! Your happiness means everything to us.
Hope to see you again soon!

Paradise on earth 🌺
We spent an unforgettable half day with Arii who introduced us to the lagoon.
We could see the manta rays , the leopard rays and the coral garden .. he knew how to explain and answer all the questions that were put to him and we were allowed to a superb traditional music sung by arii accompanied by his Yukulele.
A thousand times thank you to him we will keep only good memories of this excursion 🤙

Amazing private snorkelling experience with extremely knowledgable guide
This is the 2nd time we've used this company in Bora Bora. Our guide, Fabien picked us up directly beside where the cruise tender boats docked, so it was all very easy. We had a spectacular tour, 4 hours of sightseeing, snorkelling and learning about the island, coral reefs and wildlife. We swam with reef sharks, sting rays, saw an amazing coral garden with soooo many fish, and then Fabien spotted a manta ray that we got to swim with too. I would highly recommend that you use this company for any of their tours, we look forward to doing so again in the not too distant future.

Incredible Whale Experience
We joined this whale watching tour for two days and had an absolutely wonderful experience.
First of all, we were deeply impressed by the warm hospitality and friendliness of all the staff. Above all, we were touched by the guiding that showed such deep respect and love for the whales.
On the second day, we had the chance to swim with whales and see a mother and calf up close — an unforgettable experience that moved us deeply.
At the end of the tour, the staff played the ukulele and sang, which created a truly memorable and heartwarming moment.
We also appreciated that one of the guides spoke a little Japanese and kindly talked to us in our language — it made us feel very welcome.
We are truly grateful for everyone’s hospitality and warm hearts. We highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Discover the wonders of the lagoon
A magnificent trip to the lagoon on board a very comfortable and recent boat. Fabien really welcomed us, changed site to give us one more chance to swim with the mantas. A moment suspended! We also had the chance to swim with a group of leopard rays.
Snorkelling in the coral garden was really fascinating. Thank you very much for this wonderful morning.
