Captain Chris goes above and beyond! - We were only two English speakers, the other seven were French, speakers, but ‘Captain Chris’ went above and beyond to translate all information, He was informative, enthusiastic and in view of the fact that I am not in the first flush of youth, was especiallly considerate of my safety at all times. Amazing to swim with metre long reef sharks, several different species of stingray, be towed by lifebuoy over the coral reef, Chris assisting and participating in every activity. I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism. After lunch on a beautiful motu, he gave a lesson on extracting milk, water and oil from coconuts, really interesting. The day ended with a last snorkel on a spectacular coral reef, many wonderful fish to be seen, 11 out of 10 thank you Chris.

Lots of surprises! - This was a great tour. Far above expectations. We were picked up right on time and at the dock where the cruise ship dropped us off. The first snorkeling spot was with the sharks and rays and we have done this before so we knew what to expect. When our guide said he was taking us to see the Eagle Rays I wondered what he meant. What a huge surprise we had when he told us to quietly get off the boat and look down. I have never seen that many Eagle Rays at one time. It was incredible. Then he topped it off by taking us to another spot where the manta ray was and we got to watch to circle several times. Again very unexpected. We also snorkeled at the coral gardens that was very nice. Lunch on the beach was nice and the food was good. All in all we thought this was a great tour with some nice unexpected surprises.

Wonderful day! - Thanks to Chris for sharing his diving corners, his passion for his islands, and his tips to make the most of the Fanfan motu... We could not dream more beautiful day with exceptional underwater discoveries, ballet with a Manta ray, a beautiful coral garden, an excellent Polynesian meal (succulent Poe), braids to feel like a king... in short it's great!

Amazing Snorkeling trip - This trip must go in Bora Bora. The guide “Chris” was amazing and took us different snorkeling spots to make sure that we see sea animals. We saw few kinds of rays and shark and many different tropical fishes. Also the lunch buffet was excellent. We ate lunch at endless beautiful crystal beach. He entertained us whole time of trip and it was amazing experience. Thank you Chris!

Beautiful day - Thank you to Christ, our captain and guide for the day. We saw a manta ray, blacktip sharks, leopard rays and pastenague rays. Hearty and delicious lunch on the motu Fanfan then various Polynesian activities in the early afternoon. I can only recommend.

Great day - Superb day with Chris, our guide. We managed to see through the roof because he looked for the manta rays... The meal on the motu was very good. Chris made us palm wreaths and bags. Highly recommended

Best snorkelling tour in Bora Bora! - We did a couple of snorkelling tours in Bora Bora and this was the best. Was a little nervous with the lack of reviews on trip advisor and Viator but so glad we did. The other tour had 3 stops, this one had 5. We got to see Manta Rays as an extra stop which was stunning. We got to swim with sharks and stingrays which is so cool! We saw eagle rays and swam through the beautiful coral garden. The other extra stop was the deep water swimming with sharks in the clear blue waters, what a great experience. For lunch we went to a private motu and had a very tasty and filling lunch and time to chill at the beach with a count demonstration and some really clever weaving. Chris our guide was multi lingual with very good English and made us feel so welcome. We were picked up at 8.45 and dropped off after 3pm. This tour is great value with more snorkelling and a bit cheaper that the other main tours. Don’t hesitate to book this tour based on the lack of reviews, you will not be disappointed. Don’t hesitat

Best snorkelling tour in Bora Bora - We have a great tour with Chris, picked up at 8.45 and back just after 3pm. We tried a couple of snorkelling tours in Bora Bora whilst we were there and this was the best value with more lagoon time than the other. We started with a Manta Ray stop which was one of the highlights. Then we stopped to swim with sharks and stingrays which is a wow experience. We stopped to see Eagle Rays which we caught a glimpse of in the cloudy waters before another shark stop in the deeper waters which was breathtaking. Finally through the coral garden before heading to the Motu for a fantastic lunch with was very tasty and filling. Time to chill at the beach with some great demonstrations of cocunuts and weaving. Great experience, Chris was a great host and this is the best value tour available as our other tour only had 3 snorkelling stops which didn’t include manta rays or the deep water sharks.

Perfect day on the lagoon - We had a great time on a full day tour with this company. Ramon took us to see the manta rays, the coral garden, and we played with stingrays with beautiful sharks and tropical fish swimming around us. Ramon looked after everyone well and ensured our safety. Lunch was tasty and abundant. We ate at the beautiful beach and played in the crystal clear water. A perfect trip.
