“I wasn't quite sure what to expect on this tour but our expectations were absolutely blown away!!! We had a nice cruise over to the island then got to go drift snorkeling through a gorgeous coral garden. We got to see all kinds of different fish & beautiful coral. Our guides spoke French so there was a bit of a language barrier but they were so friendly & knowledgeable. We even got to have some local fruit & juice once we were done snorkeling. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Raiatea!”

Review of Bora Bora’s two-hour sunset catamaran cruise, with champagne, snacks, hotel pickup, mountain views, and practical booking tips.
“We had a fantastic time on our trip, especially since the catamaran is docked at the St. Regis which made it really convenient.

The two crew members are also more than happy to snap as many photos as you want and are sure to catch the sunset in the background. Thank you for the fantastic service and great time!”
