Great tour and the two guides were very funny and took safety quite seriously. They had us stand behind a rope while feeding the sharks in the corral gardens. We were later able to swim with them. These guys knew what they were doing. Enjoyed the feeding, the ride around the island and the lagoonarium. The lunch was really good and we ended with a pareo demonstration. Would recommend that they spend less time on the motu after the lagoonarium tour and lunch. To their credit, they could tell we were all bored and we left earlier than scheduled. Would highly recommend.
The weather was horrible and we were the ONLY boat out. Everyone questioned the operators judgement in continuing the tour in light of 4 to 6 ft waves at the shark feeding site. One person was terrified and in tears, another was launched in the air and fell to the boat floor. Good tour but the operator should have at least asked if we minded being rescheduled. Trust me no one would have minded.
Good trip. Shark and ray feeding great. Good lunch and time to chill at the lagoonarium. Can see why some people think its too long doing nothing after lunch though. Tip: if you can get snorkeling gear from your hotel, take them as the gear supplied is only a very old snorkel and mask and no flippers.
This was an amazing tour. The snorkelling was great and swimming with the sharks is something I'll never forget. The only downside was the tour was cut a bit short (it didn't go the full three hours) and I would have liked to have spent even more time in the water! Also, some people on the boat had purchased their tickets much cheaper by just buying them at the dock. But that said, we were glad we were already organised through Viator so we didn't have to stress about finding a decent tour.
My last test, bora bora anyone?
I was on 6 islands in 11 days and this was the best tour off any of them. Great encounters with the sea life, food was great, and the tour operators were so nice and friendly that they made you feel like family. I woudl do this tour over any other that I did in Tahiti. Thanks!
Amazing views and access to some of the best snorkeling spots we found in French Polynesia. Would recommend doing the half day over the full day. With the exception of lunch, you get all the experience for a portion of the price!
The trip was alot of fun, just wish more time could have been spent at the coral garden and less on the island after the lunch.
We enjoyed this excursion very much as there were lots of sharks and stingrays during the shark feeding session in the wild and there were also lots of fish during the snorkeling session. Activities performed inside the lagoonarium also interesting and you have lots of opportunities to take pictures with stingrays. Make sure you bring your underwater camera as the water was very clear and there were endless kinds of fishes. However, short-coming for this excursion is that their snorkeling equipment was completely outdated and they had no fins. For poor swimmers like myself, I had to struggle swimming against the current and back to the boat after finishing the activities in the water. Also for the full day tour, you will be left on your own after lunch from 1.00-3.00 p.m. on the island of the lagoonarium before the tour took us back to the main island. We were told we could walk around the island on our own which took around 30 minutes or we could follow other half-day lagoonarium tour members to see them feeding the stingrays and sharks again. I had compared the costs for other half-day tours but if you combined the half day shark and ray snorkeling safari or shark watching and lagoonarium and the half-day circle island tour, there was basically no saving except you won't be stranded on the island in the afternoon if you are short of time in Bora Bora.
The staff was exceedingly personable and entertaining. We loved the music and the energy. We enjoyed all three stops, especially the coral gardens. For novice snorkelers and children the lagoonarium was excellent. The food and the presentation was very nice. I even learned how to wear my new pareau. (sp?
MUY BUENA. PERFECTA
I was surprised when a lady in a private car picked us up instead of going on "Le Truck". This could be because the time was switched to accommodate our schedule because of the weather. We enjoyed it!
This excursion was a bit confusing for us. We didn't see a truck and our guide said it was her car. I thought we would be going to see the canons and get to take pictures but all this is, is a car ride around the whole main island which is One road. Didn't get out but she did take us to a pearl place.
Swimming with reef sharks and mooray eels was the most amazing experience of my life. If you go to Bora Bora you must do it.
We had a great time and the price was perfect. We looked at a lot of tour options and we are so glad we picked this one. We had a lot of time to snorkel with the sharks and the rays and of course all the other tropical fish!.
