Private Snorkeling Trip - The snorkeling experience with Mike and Tama was amazing!!! They were so friendly and knowledgeable and took us to see exactly what we asked for. We saw eagle rays, black tip sharks, sting rays, and a ton of fish, plus the amazing coral garden. The boat was smooth, the views were amazing, and the singing and ukulele/drums made the trip very special. We did a private tour and it was worth every penny! I highly recommend this experience!

Half day snorkelling with Rays and Sharks - Pros : Fabulous half day tour, our guide Niko was very friendly and funny. We weren’t his customers, we were his team. Took us to three different locations. Cons: first stop were told it was chest deep, maybe if you are 6ft 6in, and with the current it was quite difficult ( nigh on impossible to stand up). Otherwise it was what you would have expected. One word of advice, make sure you are covered up, if there is no cloud cover you WILL get sunburn. Thanks again to Niko

Great snorkeling with Coco! - The half-day snorkel trip was excellent. We saw stingrays, reef sharks (at two locations), several manta rays, and beautiful coral at the coral gardens. Coco was a wonderful guide. I highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing experience! - Our excellent guide/captain Mana really went the extra mile to create a wonderful experience. Really good snorkeling, got the chance to hug a sting ray and swam with black tip reef sharks. We also learned a lot about Bora Bora and it was nice to go around the whole island. On top, we got 30 min more than expected. Thank you, Mana!

Highlight of the trip - We went for the half day private tour as we have a 2yr old. The tour was definitely a highlight of our entire trip. Our guide Mana was exceptional. Helped us to tailor our tour to the best of our needs. Wish we could come back again soon!

Amazing time spent with the sharks and stingrays - My wife and I were recently in Bora Bora celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary. We had been talking about swimming with sharks for as long as we have been together and Lagoon Service helped to make it happen. We booked a private half day shark/ray/coral garden snorkling tour through the St. Regis Bora Bora and had such an amazing time. The day of our tour saw rain and wind which actually worked to our advantage. For the first stop, we were the only boat for miles and had the full attention of over a dozen black tip reef sharks in crystal clear waters. We were able to capture some amazing video with our GoPro. It was peaceful and I felt completely safe. About 45 mintues in, a sister boat showed up. Our tour guide joked with that boat saying he started the shark tour with ten people but was now down to two. My wife and I thought it was hilarious. At the second stop, there were 3 photogenic stingrays and more sharks. Our guide got in the water with us and let us hold one of the females named Gigi. The last stop was the coral gardens which was absolutely breathtaking. You literally navigate your way through a labrinth of some of the most amazing coral structures teeming with sea life. A huge thank you to Lagoon Service for the tour and hospitality.

Outstanding Memories Thanks to Outstanding Guides - Of all the things we will remember most about our stay in Bora Bora, it will be the snorkeling tour and the sunset tour that we took with Lagoon Service. Both were simply outstanding experiences with local guides (thank you thank you, Vatea and Coco, respectively) who were so warm and friendly and eager to share their knowledge of the island and its reefs as well as the local culture. We were serenaded with ukulele and singing as we moved from spot to spot for the snorkeling tour, and guided expertly in the waters. Vatea also customized our private snorkeling tour to accommodate our personal interests and brought the biggest smiles of our trip. Coco and his pilot serenaded on ukulele and drum and made a perfect sunset even more of a perfect experience. The boats are beautiful and clean, the snacks served were wonderful, and the warmth of all our interactions was genuine. Both of our experiences were private tours. Consider making at least one excursion in Bora Bora a private one with Lagoon Services — ours were unforgettable and magical.

Best experience in Bora Bora! - My husband and I had the absolute best time on this tour with BIG MIKE! We left the Four Seasons picked up by Mike and his super comfortable boat in the morning. Even though the waters were slightly rocky, the boat was super smooth and comofrtable. We had a beautiful and amazing snorkle experience seeing the most exotic fish! We then went to see the sharks and stingray in crystal blue water. The little snack on the water was also so lovely. We highly recommend this tour and hopefully your lucky enough to travel with Big Mike! Cheers from your favorite Miami guests- Mo and Elisa

Great Family Snorkel Experience with Captain Mike - We had a great time seeing sharks, the coral reef and Sting Rays with Captain Mike. The day started out a bit rainy, but Mike adjusted the itinerary to find dry spots with many sharks and sting rays. He was very friendly and the whole family had a great time. Than kyou

An Amazing Snorkeling cruise experience - My wife and I had an amazing time on the snorkeling cruise. We stopped at three great destinations. Our first stop was a shallow area where manta rays and black tip sharks were hanging out. It was great to see them up close. The second stop was a beautiful reef area. I'm glad that we arrived early because it got crowded after a while. The last stop was a beautiful coral garden. Our guide's name was Aro. He was an amazing guide. He remembered every passengers name. I think that there were about 10 or 12 people on the boat so it's not easy to remember that many names. He had a great personality, he taught us a lot about the island, he made sure that everyone had a good time and he really did a great job of showing us around the reefs. He also sang and played the ukulele. He was truly entertaining. I hope that he is around whenever we go back to Bora Bora because he was amazing.
