Highlights
  • Coral Gardens - Experience Beautiful Bora Bora.
  • Bora Bora - After morning pickup from Vaitape Pier or your Bora Bora hotel, hop into your open-sided 4WD to begin your tour of the island with your friendly professional guide.

Travel about 20 miles (32 km) around the island with several stops at postcard-perfect viewpoints including East Matira lookout, which overlooks a shimmering lagoon. Your 4WD then scales the mountain to reach Faanui Canon lookout where you can check out canons that were left behind by US troops when World War II ended.

Stop at a small workshop in Faanui Valley to learn how craftspeople make colorful tie-dye sarongs and coconut oil. Then taste delicious tropical fruits at a small plantation before heading to Amanahune Bay lookout where you admire volcanic rock formations from the ancient caldera of Bora Bora.

After a 4-hour island tour with your knowledgeable guide, take a break at your choice of restaurant where you can purchase lunch and enjoy approximately 1.5 hours on your own before your next adventure.

In the early afternoon, you are transferred to the lagoon to meet your boat for your ocean excursion. Either catch some sun on deck or sit under the sunshade as your captain heads to your first stop, a calm lagoon with waist-deep water and plenty of stingrays. Using the provided snorkel gear, you can hop in the water to observe the gentle and friendly rays up-close. You may find several rays swimming around you, an amazing experience that you wont forget. Or simply observe from the boat if you prefer.

After seeing the rays, head to another spot where you can see black-tip reef sharks gliding gracefully through the water near your boat.

Finally, cruise over to a stunning coral garden where you have plenty of time to snorkel and soak up the beauty of the colorful corals and fish. At the end of a magical day seeing Bora Bora’s natural treasures, your guide returns you to your hotel.

Great full day in Bora Bora! - This was such a fun day. The pick up was smooth...we were coming off the Windstar cruise so they picked us up at Vaitape. We had one other couple at a hotel to pick up and then were off. The weather was sunny but really windy. However all the things promised were delivered. We even got to jump in the deep water and see eagle rays. Lunch was a highlight...it was my first poisson cru and completely delicious! Lunch with little fish swimming around while we sat on picnic tables in the lagoon was fun. Then they took us across to jump in the truck and get the tour. This island doesn't have a ton of 'history' as it relates to the drive (pointing out hotels, etc.) ....but it was neat to go up the steep bits to get a higher vantage point and to get the opportunity to see the whole island. Overall I would highly recommend. Watchouts are that there will be people who are not doing the same 4x4 trip. Some people stay behind on the motu to chill for the afternoon. That can get little confusing. Also with the wind it can be hard to hear what's going on...but just let things flow and it will work out.

Bucket list experience in Bora Bora - It was the best activity of our whole trip to French Polynesia. We saw, swum with 2 Manta rays, black tip reef sharks, stingrays and even found eagle rays! Definitely a bucket list experience. For the bbq lunch they take you to a beach with a direct view of Bora Bora and you have different choices, all delicious! After lunch we did the 4x4 land tour: we drove a full circle around the island and went up to some pretty epic viewpoints, which otherwise wouldn't have been accessible. Everyone on the tour and our tour guides Manu and Moana were so nice and helpful. 10/10 experience :)

Great day with Bora Bora Explorer - It was a fun day on the water and exploring the island. The crew was fabulous (Manu and Ari) and took good care of everyone. The highlight was swimming with the reef sharks and stingrays. The motu lunch was excellent. I only wish I had a little more time on the motu before being rushed off for the jeep part of the tour, but I would definitely book with BB Explorer again and hope to visit again someday soon. Bora Bora and its people are truly wonderful.

Great trip - highly recommended - Great trip, highly recommended. The guides are super nice and funny and always concerned about the well-being of the guests. In the morning we went snorkeling and saw stingrays, blacktip reef sharks and lots of colorful fish. Afterwards we had a delicious lunch prepared by our aunt and grandma. You eat on a paradise island with your feet in the water. Super delicious!!! In the afternoon we drove around the island in a jeep and stopped at a few places to look out. Our guide told us a lot of interesting things about the island. Great day! We would book again anytime

The highlight of our vacation in Bora Bora. I WILL come back some day and I would definitely do this tour again. - Everything about Bora Bora is amazing, the water, the mountains, the food, and especially the people. The tour was perfect and the absolute highlight of our trip to Bora Bora. Being able to get to the different parts of the lagoon and then swim with the rays and sharks will such a memorable experience! Absolutely 100% do this, even if you're afraid of sharks, you can sit in the boat and still enjoy the experience from the boat!! Also, the lunch was so incredible because you get a home cooked meal for lunch so you really get the taste of authentic cuisine and everything they served was delicious!

Lagoon YES / 4x4 NO - The Lagoon cruise 5/5 on the other hand the 4x4 tour is a tourist trap You cover a very small part of the island of Bora-Bora in less than 2 hours on the main road, you climb twice to a Water Tower viewpoint and to the American Canon, then you stay 1 hour in a stand selling Chinese souvenir products and 3 handcrafted pareos. $$$ Little explanation, no culture, no legend, in short, we're bored... You only have to take the boat to swim with the rays and sharks but if you go to Moorea save your money to go to the lagoon there I do not recommend this combined 4x4 experience Hello to BoB the drunk American who accompanied us in the afternoon
