Explore Bora Bora by 4WD and lagoon boat, with mountain views, local crafts, lunch, stingrays, sharks, and coral gardens.
“La gita in mare è stata davvero emozionante, abbiamo visto una manta, le razze, gli squali e il giardino di corallo è spettacolare. Unica pecca forse è stato un po’ frettoloso (ma la giornata di vento forse rendeva difficile alcuni spostamenti). Il tour a terra ci è piaciuto tantissimo, la nostra guida Teva, era gentilissima, ci ha portato sulla cima, a vedere molti alberi da frutto, abbiamo assistito (e comprato) alla creazione dei parei e poi siamo andati sulla cima opposta dell’isola. Il pranzo al ristorante è stato ottimo (forse anche qui la cameriera era un po’ frettolosa nonostante ci fosse abbastanza tempo per fare tutto).”

Swim with Moorea’s humpback whales, rays, sharks, and turtles on a small-group boat tour with fruit, drinks, and local guides.
“We had the most amazing time with Yannick and Clevis(sp) today. We saw mother and calf humpback whale. We had several sightings underwater when they were diving deep and coming up breaching the surface with tail splashes and then diving back down. After the whales, we had an opportunity to swim with many black tip reef sharks and stingrays. After that, we did a drift in search of turtles. There was a strong currents so we only saw one.

Review of Tahiti’s 4-hour snorkeling tour, with dolphins, turtles, wrecks, coral gardens, local fruit, beer, pricing, and pickup advice.
“The two crew members were sweet, and funny, and made you feel very safe. I'm a scardy-cat when it comes to doing adventure things like this. But there's always one guide with you in the water making sure you are on course and not veering too far away. We were lucky to see sea turtles, matna rays, and a dolphin jumping by (and they made sure to stop when someone spotted it!); among all the various coral eating fish. We booked last minute and they even picked us up at our hotel dock. I would definitely book again!”
