Activity description
Discover the underwater riches of the island of Bora Bora on a boat tour of the lagoon with snorkelling breaks!
World-renowned as one of the jewels of the South Pacific, the island of Bora Bora is ideal for snorkelling in French Polynesia and discovering a dense and varied underwater fauna. If you can swim, whatever your level, this boat trip with snorkelling breaks in the Bora Bora lagoon is an experience you don't want to miss on the island!
Lasting 3 and a half hours and divided into 3 or 4 stops depending on your preferences and the conditions of the lagoon, this snorkelling trip in Bora Bora will take you to some exceptional aquatic sites. You will be able to meet stingrays (mantas at their cleaning station, then eagle stingrays at a specific site), as well as tropical fish, first at a natural site that only your guide knows about, then, weather permitting, at 2 other locations: Toopua Iti or the Aquarium, 2 former feeding sites.
To make this boat trip with snorkelling in the Bora Bora lagoon all the more interesting, your guide is committed to sharing his knowledge of the lagoon's underwater flora and fauna with you, while ensuring your safety. Put your trust in him and join him for an unforgettable half-day of snorkelling in Bora Bora!

Special terms
Please contact the instructor as soon as you arrive in Bora Bora.
The instructor will contact you the evening before the activity at around 8 p.m. to confirm the exact time of the pick-up, which will take place by boat (either at your accommodation if there is safe access to the sea for the boat, i.e. with sufficient depth, a sandy bottom, free of coral and not on the flat shore, and if there is a pontoon large enough to accommodate the boat; or at a pre-arranged meeting point close to your accommodation). The pick-up time shown on the calendar corresponds to the start time of the hotel pick-up and ends approximately 1 hour later.
If you have to return during the day, it will not be possible to shorten the excursion. Make sure you choose a date when you don't have to return.
If you don't have your own snorkelling equipment, the instructor can provide it for you, as long as you specify your fin size when you receive your booking confirmation.
Private tours and renting a GoPro camera (with an SD card) are available upon request.
