We not only fished, but our guide showed us different aspects of the island of Bora Bora as we sailed around. He also pointed out sea turtles and sting rays as he saw them. We got to go a bit into the ocean and attempt to fish for larger fish. Although we were unsuccessful, we got to see a local try and harpoon a mahi mahi which was SO COOL! Definitely worth booking and it was so special to spend that time with just my husband (& the guide).Written 4 October 2024

The snorkel part of this tour was mediocre but when we arrived at the shark / ray location was excellent. The female tour guide jumped in and the rays acted as if she were their mother!! They were all over her, never seen anything like it, maybe they soak her sun shirt in fish juice? Any way, the rays were there, the sharks were there and they stayed there. My wife is VERY s kiddish, even she let the rays give her a hug, I'd post that picture but I value my marriage. It was fun and I would do it again just for the rays.

Our tour guide was Samkin. We had an amazing time! Samkin provides fun music and singing while cruising to each snorkeling spot. They even made an extra stop for us because they spotted manta rays! The crew was always willing to take photos for us and were very informative about the wildlife in the lagoon.

We had such a great experience with them. Naki and John were absolutely the best. They were friendly, loves to make jokes, made sure all of us were comfortable and safe at all times. They even sang most of the time to entertain us. Swimming with the sharks is truly a great experience. The sting rays were super playful and expecting a lot of food. There were so many different types of colorful fishes. It’s just an amazing experience. Thank you guys!!!!

This is something that you do not want to miss when in Bora Bora. Feeding the stingrays that hover around you while black tip sharks lurk is a once in a lifetime experience. Glen from Moana and his crew are really fun to be with and when they get the ukelele out and sing it really it really makes for a great day.

You WILL swim with Sharks & Rays!! You may see an Eel. The Coral Garden has some reasonable coral remaining and is a very decent snorkel.
Our guide was awesome. If you want to hang out with a true Polynesian "Dude" for an afternoon/day, request Jean.
Guiding skills are above average. Very clear instructions on what's going to happen and how things will work all with some humor thrown in. Very aware and attentive to his guests.
HE IS NOT IN A RUSH.
He has much experience with the sharks, rays & eels which was comforting.
Above his guiding skills he was very open to questions about life, history & traditions on the islands. He will share stories of his passions........fishing & paddling. You just have to ask.
We even talked how real estate works on the island for locals haha.
I'm not usually into these tourist trappy type of outings but the sharks & Jean made this one a worthy experience!

We had the most amazing experience on this excursion thanks to Ruma and the crew! Our first stop was swimming with the sharks and rays. As we pulled up to the stop, the sharks had already approached the boat to come check us out. I would say there were probably 10 of them that hung around our area the entire stop, circling around and swimming close by us but staying just out of arms reach.
Once the stingrays recognized Ruma, they swam up to her and would not leave her alone! Ruma wasn't kidding when she said they were like puppies. The rays would swim up to the surface and do a quick circle around her then do it again and again. We got some great photos and videos of us petting the rays as they did their dance.
Then we went to the coral garden and it was absolutely incredible! Such an amazing variety of colors in the coral, clams, and fish. There was much to see in the crystal clear waters.
Such an amazing outing. Highly highly recommending this trip to everyone

This was a great tour and a great way to spend a couple of hours while stayingon Bora Bora. Maui & Sam H were very kind and helpful. My wife can't swim but Sam put her in a life vest and personally swam her around to show her the coral, rays, and sharks which let me focus on taking pictures. These guy play traditional Polynesian music and sing while traveling to the sites which really adds a fun tone to the whole experience. Highly recommend this tour and most especially, Maui & Sam H.

We went to a lagoon then walked to the reef. Had a bit of a history lesson about BB and the reefs age. My wife found a mangrove seed and cracked it open to show me it was like a pecan (she is from Philippines) Glenn was familiar with them too. Then we went to a private snorkeling place. It was better than the coral gardens! After we swam with the sharks and sting rays. The sting rays will hug you! One came up on my chest. Lmao. The sharks practice social distancing! 🤣

Me and my husband went on a snorkeling tour and it was so amazing we had to do it twice!! This tour is one of our best memories from Bora Bora and one of the most amazing things we have ever experienced in our lives.
Our captains (first Sam and then Malaki) were so relaxed and funny! I smile every time I think of them.
The true hero of the tour was our guide Maui (who I’d like to think of as ”my” guide). I am not a good swimmer and normally I’d stay in the boat looking at everyone else having fun in the water. I only feel confident enough to swim in shallow water. Maui went out of his way to make me feel safe and comfortable. He swam side by side with me all the time, pulled me after on a lifebuoy in deep water, dived down and poined out different fishes and held my hand when things got a little bit scary (like touching a stingray for the first time which was AMAZING!!). Thanks to Maui I was able to see about 50 eagle rays, manta rays and millions of colorful fishes and corals. I transformed from a non swimmer to a mermaid! I stuck my head under the water and it was just WOOOW!! The underwater life of Bora Bora has so much to give!
This tour is absolutely a bucket list when in Bora Bora!
I will definitely go on this tour again next time I come to Bora Bora and I will specifically ask for Maui to be ”my” guide again!

Outstanding snorkeling cruise. Everything they said in the write up was true. Snorkeling with the baby sharks was great. They were swimming all around you. Second stop was swimming with the stingrays in a shallower area - also really fun. Crew was in the water feeding the stingrays and you got to touch them, feed and really enjoy the experience. Third stop was a deeper water snorkel with colorful fish. Music, water pickup and dropped all perfect. Cruise around Bora Bora very nice. Highly recommended, very friendly staff.

How agile do you need to be to do this excursion? We are a group of 5 ranging in age from 65 to 80. I don't think any of us would have any problem jumping into the water, but some of us are stronger than others when it comes to pulling ourselves out of the water. All can climb a ladder to get out of a pool. Also, Do you furnish inflatable snorkeling vests for non-swimmers?
