About this experience
Our excursion offers an authentic Bora Bora lagoon safari designed for guests who value quality, ethics and small groups. We operate with very limited numbers on board, visit multiple sites chosen daily based on conditions, and observe marine life in its natural environment without feeding or staging encounters. Led by experienced local guides, our tours regularly encounter manta rays, eagle rays, turtles, dolphins, and vibrant coral gardens, while respecting French Polynesia's wildlife protection laws. Every trip is different, personal and driven by nature - making it a genuine, responsible and unforgettable snorkeling experience.
