Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We has an amazing time on the full day lagoon tour with lunch and culture on the family’s motu! Our hosts were Manu and his cousin who were not only very funny, but also very knowledgeable about the area. They took us to the best places to snorkel and see sharks, stingrays, lots of colorful fish and the most beautiful coral. The bbq lunch with our feet in the water was perfect, and we appreciated the family opening up their piece of heaven for us all to experience. I got to make my own tropical pareo for cheaper than what shops sell them for. This is a family-run business and I appreciated making sure our money went back to locals. The boat, equipment and everything included was good quality.

The Combo tour was amazing!
Our guides Manu and Riu were very knowledgable and friendly.
They took us to the most beautiful places.
We saw whales, dolphins, stingrays, sharks and tons of colorful fish.
The 4x4 tour was informative and they took us to a couple high points on the island for some panoramic photos
It is an absolute MUST DO in Bora Bora!

We had a wonderful time -- the lagoon tour with snorkeling was fantastic! Our guides knew all the good spots for seeing reef sharks, rays, and turtles, and their explanations in both French and English were thorough. A nice bonus was their singing, with ukele and drum accompaniment, as we moved along. The lagoon tour included a delicious lunch on a private island, where we sat at picnic tables in the shallow water. The 4X4 tour of the entire island was equally wonderful, and we were driven to several high lookout points and WWII cannon emplacements. We watched a demonstration of tie-dying pareos, and afterward we were shown several different ways to wear them.

The motu is fantastic, I could have spent at least one day there, but I was given just a couple of hours. Such a small time spent there was, in part, due to the boat captain being late to pick me up and to the boat itself stalling several times during the journey to get to the islet.

We are looking to book the 4x4 tour and the stargazing tour, can we be picked up from the Le Meridien?

Hi, it all depends if you're booking through the hotel. The hotel will provide pick-up/drop-offs on certain tours. I believe the 4x4 tour you will have to take the water taxi to the mainland and that's where your tour guide will meet you. If you're booking everything directly with the tour company you will have to pay for the water taxi from the hotel to the mainland. I recommend booking everything through the hotel. It's the exact same price or a slight difference.

Ia orana! Does the sunset tour last 4 hours like the other ones, and does it cover similar locations (e.g. the military artifacts)? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse !

Ia Orana, the tour actually last 1 1/2 hrs and covers 2 stops one of which is the WWII guns. While watching the sunset we offer a bottle of bubbly per couple! its a much shorter tour and we focus on the sunset. if you want something a but more detailed I would recommend the 1/2 day tour...
What is the transfer fee from the Four Seasons Resort and Spa, or is it included in the price of the tour?
