Review of Bora Bora’s small-group snorkeling tour, with manta rays, eagle rays, coral gardens, boat pickup, pricing, and practical tips.

“An excellent tour, although the weather wasn't the best, our guide located a large school of rays that we were able to observe and follow. Manta's were more difficult, and all but one stayed hidden. The coral garden was absolutely amazing. Excellent adventure and a highlight of our time on Bora Bora”

Great value for the experience that I highly recommend.”

I'm sure it's a solid experience but it was frustrating to have planned around that (with very late dinner reservations to accommodate and foregoing other planned activities) and then have it cancelled without any plan other than refund. Our time here is precious and we want to spend it well.”
