“The tour company will not respond. We were provided a tour that only included the cruise. No 4wd tour was included. This was not what we paired for and have asked for a partial refund. They have not or maybe will not respond to our emails. Feels like a bait and switch. I’ll be contacting our credit card company.”

Review of Bora Bora’s 2-hour luxury sunset catamaran, with hotel pickup, Otemanu views, drinks, snacks, crew details, and practical tips.

“Pros: BEAUTIFUL boat and super friendly crew. Cons: Did not match the description when booking. No sparkling wine was served. 13 people were booked when it advertised a max of 8. This made the front seating space feel a bit crowded. The cruise itself was lack luster. Felt like we didn’t travel very far and then just sat floating in circles. Headed back promptly at sunset with little to no communication from the captain. Very expensive for what you got. Much better excursions available. Would not recommend for the price.”

Review of Bora Bora’s sunset outrigger cruise and St James dinner, with practical details on price, food, weather, transport, and value.

“This promised to be a wonder 34th anniversary night. The collection from our hotel was prompt,skipper handed us sealed tray of fruit which remained sealed. He was to take us on a sunset cruise but due to his fear of rain we were taken to port and stood under a canopy for 40mins where he cracked open one bottle of fiz for 8 to share. After some time one of the passengers suggested we should get back onto the water as it had not rained a drop so he got us on board and took us to St James cafe we were there roughly 70mins ahead of time. He said…”

Review of Bora Bora’s 4WD, Bloody Mary’s lunch, shark and ray snorkel cruise, with honest tips on value, timing, and what to expect.

“A Must Do! The tour was great! Open truck tour around the island and up to scenic vistas in the morning, Bloody Mary's for lunch was great, then swimming with sting rays and sharks. The whole day was great but do not miss swimming with sting rays and sharks. Bring a Go Pro - it was incredible. We were on a Windstar cruise and they met us right at the dock. We did not book through the cruise.”
