We booked the tour from Hotel Matira. 8500cfp for the half day excursion. They took us first to feed sharks and stingrays. An amazing experience, I had never seen sharks so close to us. It's safe but scary at the same time. Stingrays are so sweet! The second stop was for snorkeling, we saw a big big eal and nice... More

The lagoonarium has four underwater pens where you can snorkel and swim with sting rays, colorful fish, and sharks. You can see but not swim with sea turtles. It's pretty lame if you're someone who scuba dives but if you're like me and you're not that brave, it's a way to get an up close experience with sealife. We did... More

I know some people have issues with the animals being contained, but they are very well taken care of, look very healthy, and just as beautiful as out in the open. I liked the fact that we got to see fish, stingray, lobster, sharks, and even sea turtles up close and personal. The guide was excellent and there was even... More

This can be done as a full or half day tour. We went half day and had a blast and thought it was just the right amount of time. The tour is led by some great locals and they take you to the best places for snorkeling and swimming with sharks and rays on the southern edge of the island.... More

We took the Bora Bora Lagoonarium tour. We had the full day package, which means the experience is from about 9 a.m to 4 p.m. and include lunch on Lagoonarium Motu. We had an obligation later in the day and did not realize it went so long. Thus, when we were at the Motu we went back with the half... More

We had 25 people on board the boat and it was very crowded. I'm not a fan of hearding tourists about in large vehicles, but it was the only way I was going to get to see some turtles. We stopped at 3 locations - a spot at the end of the where we held on a rope int he... More

There are several companies that do the touristy shark & ray feeding (which is still cool and worth it), we felt these guys were crazy fun and expended a lot of energy to make it really a good time for us all. they also sing and play ukulele music while we cruised. added benefit is their own Lagoonarium where you...
