The experience

You start with a safety briefing and introduction to the ATV, then ride across varied terrain guided by a local who knows the island. The route climbs steep hills to Mont Popoti, where the views open across the lagoon and surrounding peaks. Along the way you'll pass through lush landscapes and stop at traditional Polynesian temples to learn about Bora Bora's cultural heritage. A fruit tasting in a botanical garden introduces tropical plants and medicinal species grown on the island.

After the riding portion, you're transported to Motu Fanfan for a Polynesian meal: grilled fish and chicken, poisson cru (raw fish with coconut milk and lime), rice, taro, manioc, banana poe, coconut bread, and fresh tropical fruits. The motu has deckchairs facing the lagoon and swimming access to the water. Bottled water and fresh fruits are provided throughout the day. Alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.

The full activity runs seven hours and requires a valid driver's license to operate the ATV. A moderate level of physical fitness is needed for the riding and terrain. Pickup from your accommodation is included, and your guide speaks English, Spanish or French depending on availability.
