Review of Bora Bora’s two-hour sunset catamaran cruise, with champagne, snacks, hotel pickup, mountain views, and practical booking tips.
“It was a wonderful sail and the captain and mate were very friendly. The sunset was gorgeous. The boat is brand new and very comfortable. Soft drinks like soda on board should be added. A few wanted soda and there wasn’t any. Over all a great experience. The mountain view from the Thalasso Intercontinental is the best and the boat didn’t go there. I would add this to the sail for guests that don’t get to see this view from other hotels. Overall we are glad we did it! Gorgeous place for sure!”

It was quite fun to snorkel above the corals while being dragged by the boat. My partner even went above a turtle. Highly recommended!”
