Bora Bora Reef Discovery Treasure Hunt Private Boat Tour

Kids hunt for treasure while you watch manta rays drift past the boat

A private 4-hour treasure hunt cruise on Bora Bora's lagoon for up to 8 passengers, where kids collect clues at each stop to solve the mystery. The captain guides the group through coral gardens and open water, where manta rays, eagle rays and tropical fish appear along the route. Snorkeling gear, towels, soda and water are included.

The experience

The boat holds up to 8 people, so you can bring your own group or add other families to fill it out. The captain designs the stops based on the kids' ages: younger children get simpler clues and shorter distances between points, while older kids work through a more complex hunt. At each stop, kids collect pieces of the puzzle while the boat sits in shallow water where manta rays and eagle rays often glide underneath, and the coral garden teems with tropical fish you can see from the deck or by snorkeling.

Snorkeling equipment is ready on board, along with towels and a beach towel for each person. Soda and bottled water keep everyone hydrated through the 4 hours. The captain stays with the group at every stop, keeping the hunt moving and pointing out what swims past. Parents can relax on the boat or join the kids in the water. The whole thing is built to keep both generations engaged without anyone feeling rushed or bored.
