Moana Jet Ski Adventure

OVERVIEW

Zip through Bora Bora’s spectacular wraparound lagoon on a jet ski, stopping every so often to swim, be further amazed by the scenery, and visit a private islet. This is no ride on a track – it’s a wonderfully liberating opportunity to carve your own path through the water, following your guide but captain of your own ship, or – in this case – wave runner. The wind-in-your-hair adventure starts at the activity center where you’ll have a safety briefing and orientation on how to operate your zippy watercraft – then it’s off into the very magnificent blue yonder, with your guide charting the course. In time, you’ll reach an idyllic strip of sand surrounded by some of the world’s most stunningly beautiful water; it seems to glow with an iridescence all its own. Making the setting all the more dramatic are Bora Bora’s iconic twin peaks – Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu – looming as the backdrop. But enough of tranquility – it’s time to jump back on your craft for more thrills as you tear off into the lagoon once more, this time headed for a secluded “motu” islet for some refreshments, a stroll, and a lesson in coconut lore and use.
