After morning pickup from Vaitape Pier or your Bora Bora hotel, start your full-day combo tour with a 4WD safari in an open-sided truck, which easily scales mountain roads to several viewpoints along the way.
A professional guide takes you around the 20-mile (32-km) circumference of the island and stops at East Matira, Faanui Canon, and Amanahune Bay lookouts with postcard-perfect views, including a panorama of the sparkling Bora Bora lagoon. Learn about the military artifacts left behind by US troops after WWII, and discover volcanic rock formations from the island’s ancient caldera.
Observe the production of coconut oil and tie-dye sarongs by local artisans at a crafts workshop, and sample tropical fruits at a small plantation.
After your morning island tour, enjoy a delicious lunch (included) before transferring to your boat for the afternoon cruise portion of your tour. Settle under the sunshade or on the sundeck as your captain navigates to a calm lagoon where you can snorkel in waist-deep water with tame stingrays or simply observe them from the boat if you prefer.
After this up-close experience with the rays, you’re taken to another spot where black-tip reef sharks glide past your vessel. Follow up at a final snorkeling spot over colorful corals teeming with tropical fish. After your search for ‘Nemo’ is over, end your day trip with the return to your Bora Bora hotel.

Fantastic day, all staff were really friendly. Loved swimming with black tip sharks, sting ray, eagle stingrays. Coral garden and fish were fabulous. Lovely meal prepared. The afternoon 4WD trip was interesting to see the true Bora Bora and learn about culture, our guide Manea went above and beyond for us and even serenaded us. It was lovely

Beautiful and fun experience
Tani_I, Sept 2023
Excellent tour and service. We were picked up from our accomodation dock. The guides were very friendly, funny, accomodating and provided a safe and comfortable environment. We snorkelled at 3 beautiful locations and seen fish, sharks and stingrays. We also saw a turtle and dolphins from the boat. We stopped at a beautiful motu for a delicious lunch prepared by a local family. Then it was onto our 4wd tour with a very knowledgeable Manu who provided so much history on the island. He is truly passionate about the island, his culture and people which was very refreshing. All in all we had a lot of fun on this tour and would 100% recommend.
Nice tour

The first point where we shnorkeled with sharks...it was beautiful.
The 4x4 was also good, it is the only way to reach by vehicle those summits.
AMAZING
Aurore_D, May 2023
Amazing, every part of it I loved. The boat, the food, the table in the water for lunch, the activities the 4x4 and the views just wwaaaooouuuhhhh.
Recommended 1000%.
Fun, Adventurous, and Memorable

Wow! My wife and I had so much fun on this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling with sharks, sting rays, and the abundant fish. The lunch on a private motu sitting on picnic table huts in the shallow part of the beach with amazing views was truly memorable. The food was excellent! The tour guides for the boat portion (Manu and Sky) were all relational, helpful, funny, and kind. We enjoyed Sky playing his ukulele and singing on the boat. The tour guide for the 4x4 was also kind and informative. If you want an experience that covers many of Bora Bora’s highlights, sights, sounds, and the sea then book this tour. Two thumbs way up! Thank you!
Fun and exhausting day!

Fun day with this tour! Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Only change would have been to do 4x4 in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon as been better for us.
Great trip in Bora Bora
Sue_B, Apr 2023
Great snorkelling with a fun and knowledgeable guide. Lovely lunch over the water, interesting land tour and a very well organised trip. Well worth it!
A must tour while in Bora Bora

This is an excellent tour. The cruise around the lagoon provided us with views from the water to the shore & learning about all the interesting sites & history. We then went snorkeling to 3 different locations. The guide was very professional & explained how to safely snorkel with all the sea life in a very understandable & humorous way. He kept a watchful eye on everyone in the water to make sure they were safe. He & the boat driver made this a memorable & unforgettable experience. We then were taken to have an fantastic lunch. Next we went to 3 mountain tops with amazing views, where we learned about the Polynesian history, customs, & language. This is a must do tour. You really get your money's worth.
Well worth it!

We stayed at the IC Thalasso so we took our hotel shuttle (fee for it) to IC Le Moana and met Manu at the lobby for a quick van ride to the dock near Bloody Mary's and met up with Chris and his boat. Then off to Viatape to pick up more guests then to the Conrad and the Pearl to get more guests. In total we had 10 people on the tour, so it felt very personal as opposed to the tours in the Caribbean where you have 40+ people on the tour. Our first stop was to see the manta rays, then off to the sting rays and sharks, then to the coral garden, and then to see the eagle ray. Then we went to the motu for lunch which was very good (some guests even said it was better than their dinner the night before at the Conrad). We booked the combo tour so after lunch it was back to the main island where Chris made sure we met up with Manu's brother, Manu (yes, both Manu but their full names are longer lol) for the land tour. This was even more intimate as it was just us and another couple. We explored the main island and Manu took us up some steep terrain for some beautiful views of Bora Bora and of the surrounding motus. Along the way Manu stopped to explain various things - how the thatched roofs are made using leaves from the trees, how the coconut trees are called "trees of life." I didn't know there was so many ways the tree and the fruit are useful! Coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut water, leaves for the roof, the roots for stomach aches, fibers from the coconuts made into string. Amazing!
We would definitely recommend this tour. It was a great combination of sea and land. Manu, Chris, and Manu were great and very knowledgeable and we highly recommend!
Wonderful experience

MICHAEL_A, Jan 2023
it was a rainy day , but we still had a great time swimming with Sharks and sting rays.
We had one of the best Polynesian meals o our trip at lunch. With so much high end word class menu options on the resort it was a pleasant surprise to get a “home cooked mesl “. The sea crew were very helpful and empathetic to anyone with fears of water and sharks . Manea was our 4x4 guide. He was Awesome as well andblew us away with the education and history he gave us of Bora Bora and the French .Polynesian islands. We highly recommend this tour.
