It provided the opportunity to see a good portion of Bora-Bora, stop at the iconic Mother Marys for lunch and to have a spectacular snorkeling experience with stingrays and lemon sharks along with another snorkeling experience that can best be described as a fish aquarium in the lagoon. Great value for the experience that I highly recommend.”
