Admire the wealth of Polynesian underwater flora and fauna on an eco-safari excursion in the Bora Bora lagoon with snorkelling!

As you learn more about Bora Bora and its environment, you will have seen images of the beauty and richness of its lagoon, with its turquoise waters teeming with tropical fish, rays and even blacktip sharks. So what would you say to diving in the heart of this superb ecosystem with a mask and snorkel, alongside a local guide who will enable you to learn more about it and meet the animals that inhabit it, all without practising feeding?

This eco-safari and snorkelling excursion in the Bora Bora lagoon is 100% environmentally friendly, offering you an educational and natural approach to the fish that inhabit Polynesian waters. For 2 and a half hours, you will set off in a small group of no more than 12 participants to discover the underwater world of Bora Bora, accompanied by your guide who will be delighted to answer all your questions on the subject. He will also take the opportunity to tell you a few Polynesian stories and legends!

This underwater eco-safari and snorkelling tour in the Bora Bora lagoon will consist of 3 stops of 25-30 minutes each (depending on the day's weather conditions), giving you the chance to get in the water at 3 different sites: a coral garden teeming with tropical fish, a sandbank frequented by stingrays, and another spot popular with black-tip sharks. Of course, snorkelling is optional, so you can observe the animals from the boat if you don't feel comfortable enough to enter the water. The boat is also equipped with an awning to protect you from the sun throughout the trip and ensure your comfort.

Between relaxation and the discovery of an exceptional underwater world, this eco-safari with rays and sharks and snorkelling in the lagoon of Bora Bora is an experience not to be missed on the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’!
