Absolutely amazing afternoon in the water! - What a fantastic day! The boat we were going to go out on had troubles, but they rolled with the punches and quickly had a substitute. After that, it was smooth sailing. I was concerned about the trip because of how windy it was, but that turned out to be no issue. We first got out and had a chance to swim with the sharks and stingrays. That was amazing! After abo it 45 minutes there, we headed over to the a coral reef area for another 45 minutes of swimming. The coral reef was beautiful, with so many colorful fish. We even saw another shark in the area. It was an amazing afternoon and I would highly recommend this tour.

Once in a lifetime experience - OMG the Deluxe Bora Bora Exclusive Tour was amazing from start to finish. Seeing the Manta Ray, Sting Rays and Black Tip Sharks was an experience like no other. My wife and I fell in love with this experience and will definitely do it again. To end the tour they take you to a private Motu for lunch, and the rest experience and lunch was great. Everything was perfect.

Bucket list - Our family of four ticked off the must do on Bora Bora of swimming with the sharks and rays. We were picked up from our apartment by car and at the end dropped off directly at our place (which was on the water) by boat. The day we went was reasonably poor weather wise with some wind and a reasonable amount of rain that meant visibility wasn't the best. The coral garden was spectacular. The sharks and rays do swim past you in touching distance in water shallow enough to stand up in. Bring water shoes. The tour was laid back in its approach. You need to be flexible in terms of looking for wild animals does involve a bit of exploring. We found this tour while short was ideal as it packed in a lot but didn't leave you exhausted for the next few days.

Bora Bora Deluxe experience for the win!!! - Had a wonderful experience with Tervata. He was an excellent guide and captain. The experience began with snorkeling with black tipped sharks and sting rays, we then went to three other snorkeling locations. They were all fabulous. We then had lunch at someone’s house on a small private island. The food was the BEST I’ve had during my entire trip to French Polynesia. The hospitality and kindness of our guide and the chef and hostess was outstanding. Highly recommend this experience to get to see more of Bora Bora outside the confines of your hotel. Well worth the it!

An incredible expedition! - We had the most amazing experience on this excursion thanks to Ruma and the crew! Our first stop was swimming with the sharks and rays. As we pulled up to the stop, the sharks had already approached the boat to come check us out. I would say there were probably 10 of them that hung around our area the entire stop, circling around and swimming close by us but staying just out of arms reach. Once the stingrays recognized Ruma, they swam up to her and would not leave her alone! Ruma wasn't kidding when she said they were like puppies. The rays would swim up to the surface and do a quick circle around her then do it again and again. We got some great photos and videos of us petting the rays as they did their dance. Then we went to the coral garden and it was absolutely incredible! Such an amazing variety of colors in the coral, clams, and fish. There was much to see in the crystal clear waters. Such an amazing outing. Highly highly recommending this trip to everyone
