This wonderful combination tour allows you to explore Bora Bora’s magical lagoon on board a covered boat, snorkel and relax on a pristine beach. You’ll have excellent photo opportunities of the hidden, eastern side of Bora Bora, so be sure to bring your camera.

Cruise from Vaitape Bay, past beautiful Raititi Point and the enchanting islets of Motu Toopua and Motu Tapu. During your cruise, you'll be treated to some wonderful views on the crystal clear lagoon as well as the island highest peak, Mount Otemanu. Upon reaching the motu (coral islet), you'll enjoy a typical island beach break and refreshments. Relax, sunbathe, or dip your toes in the shallow waters.

Since snorkeling from the motu is limited due to shallow waters, a snorkel stop is done at another location during the tour.

Enjoy a wonderful ride in the clear lagoon of Moorea with great views of the island's sharp mountain peaks, lush green valleys and picturesque coastal shoreline, then enjoy a typical island lunch, relax on a delightful beach or enjoy the warm tropical waters of French Polynesia.

Boarding your boat at the pier, you'll set-off across the turquoise waters of Moorea, en route to a gorgeous white sandy islet that is surrounded by crystal clear water. The waters here are shallow enough for you to walk right off the boat onto the pristine beach where you will have approximately three hours at your leisure.

During your visit, you can relax and soak up the sun, or enjoy some great snorkeling and discover Moorea's amazing underwater world with its colorful fish, flora and fauna. There may even be some inquisitive stingrays to welcome you and in exchange for a piece of fish, they just might delight you by dancing gracefully around you.

Following a barbeque lunch on the beach, you will have more time to enjoy the refreshing waters here or further relax on the beach while being entertained with local music and a coco demonstration.

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.
