Private Lagoon Extravaganza – Full Day
Begin this private Bora Bora adventure by circling the island aboard a boat. Your exclusive boat allows you and your group of up to 12 guests in total to feel the sea spray as it refreshes you. As you glide over the turquoise lagoon, enjoying amazing vistas. Reach a resting destination and prepare to swim with rays.
Enter waist-deep, crystal-clear water to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures. Feel their smooth, flat bodies and flapping wings as you are delighted in their friendly behavior. Feed them fish and they will quickly become your new best friends!
Your captain provides snorkels and masks, allowing you to explore an underwater perspective, just like a fish. After your encounter with rays, it’s time for sharks. Their equally friendly cousins will impress you with their poise and beauty as they glide near you. With your snorkel and mask in hand, plunge into turquoise blue waters to explore a gorgeous coral garden where an underwater oasis of vibrant colors awaits. The corals of various hues are home to teeming tropical fish of so many varieties that are just as radiant as their ecosystem.
Prefer to stay on the boat? You can enjoy the colorful ocean life aboard your ship, visible through the sparkling clear lagoon. On a beautiful motu islet, a local family serves a delicious and fresh grilled meal. With your feet in the lagoon, enjoy a savory plate of Tahitian food prepared in an Earth oven (“Ahi ma’a”). After a full day on the picturesque waters that surround Bora Bora you will be returned to the port area.

Bora Bora, often referred to as the "Jewel of the South Seas," is the epitome of tropical luxury. Nestled in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, this idyllic island is famed for its stunning turquoise lagoon, ringed by a barrier reef and dotted with overwater bungalows. Visitors can expect to be mesmerized by the island’s breathtaking beauty, where Mount Otemanu, an extinct volcano, rises majestically in the background. A must-do on Bora Bora is a lagoon tour, where you can snorkel among vibrant coral gardens, swim with gentle rays, and even spot blacktip reef sharks. The island’s natural splendor is so enchanting that it has become a favorite honeymoon destination, synonymous with romance and tranquility. Bora Bora is also steeped in rich Polynesian culture. While the island is now a haven for luxury resorts, its cultural heritage remains intact. Visitors can explore ancient marae (sacred temples) and learn about the island's history through local storytelling and dance performances. The annual Heiva festival, held in July, is an excellent opportunity to witness traditional Polynesian dance, music, and sports, providing a vibrant glimpse into the island's cultural heart. For those interested in history, a visit to the remnants of World War II bunkers, left behind by American forces, adds an intriguing layer to the island’s past. For the adventurous, Bora Bora offers more than just lounging on its pristine beaches. The island’s lush interior can be explored through a variety of activities, including hiking, ATV tours, and 4x4 safaris. These excursions provide not only stunning views of the island and lagoon but also encounters with the island’s diverse flora and fauna. You can also visit a pearl farm to see how the island’s famous black pearls are cultivated. These pearls, unique to French Polynesia, make for a perfect souvenir to remember your time in paradise. Fun fact: Bora Bora’s lagoon is often considered the most beautiful in the world, and its vivid blue color is due to the white sandy bottom reflecting the sunlight. The lagoon is also home to the largest manta rays in the world, with wingspans that can reach up to 23 feet. Watching these gentle giants glide through the water is a magical experience that will leave you in awe of the island’s natural wonders. |
