Set out for the Bora Bora lagoons during a memorable day of snorkeling, starting with hotel or port pickup.
Board your powerboat and cruise over turquoise waters fringed by lush coastline, and soak up stunning views en route to your first lagoon.
Hop into the shallow water and slip on the provided snorkel and mask to begin your stingray experience.
Your guide shows you how to interact with the tame stingrays, which have adapted well to human feedings in the area.
Get a close look or even touch the graceful rays as they swim right up to you! On the way to your next stop, search the crystal-clear waters for manta rays gliding past. You’ll arrive at a prime snorkeling spot above a colorful coral garden where you can observe the marine life from the boat or marvel at the multitude of fish through your snorkel mask.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, your guide takes you to a private motu (small island) for a freshly prepared buffet lunch. Sink your teeth into grilled steak, chicken, fish, salads and fruit.
Afterward, follow your guide on a short hike to the island’s summit for panoramic views, and reward yourself with a dip in the sea or a stroll along the shoreline.
When you hear the unmistakable sound of a conch shell being blown, you’ll be entertained by a coconut husking demonstration and live music before your full-day Bora Bora tour returns to the starting point.
Bora Bora’s Lagoonarium is a natural aquarium located on a small motu (or islet east of the main island. It’s well known as a great snorkeling destination.
The aquarium isn’t man-made. Rather, it’s a portion of the actual lagoon). One of the coolest things about this family-owned attraction is that you can actually snorkel on the premises under the supervision of wildlife guides. Beneath the lagoon’s surface, you’ll spy sharks, turtles, rays ,and many different kinds of ocean fish. And depending on what tour you choose (full-day, half-day morning or, half-day afternoon), you’ll enjoy a number of extras, such as a canoe tour of the island or a barbecue picnic. cc
The history: island’s name—the Tahitian spelling of which is Porapora—means “First Born”; according to tradition, it was the first island created after Raiatea. Bora-Bora was sighted by Dutch admiral Jacob Roggeveen in 1722, visited by Capt. James Cook in 1769 and 1777, and annexed by France in the late 19th century
