Bora Bora ATV & Jet Ski Combo: Full Day with Motu LunchYou ride an ATV up through Bora Bora's interior for three hours—crater views, World War II cannons, and a working vanilla plantation where you taste the harvest. Then you switch to a jet ski for two hours circling the island and the lagoon center. Lunch is grilled fish and chicken on a motu, with local sweets and coconut. A native guide leads both legs, sharing island stories and culture. The full day means you're not rushed; you get both the high ground and the water in one outing.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want both the island's interior and its lagoon in a single day without arranging two separate outings—the full-day format is what lets you do the volcano, the plantation, and the water loop without feeling rushed. Plan for a physically active day with steep ATV sections and jet ski handling; it suits most fitness levels, but check the health restrictions first.
Bora Bora: ATV Island Tour, WWII Sites & Fruit TastingYou’ll zip through Bora Bora’s heart on an ATV tour with a local guide, climb up for wild lagoon views, sample fresh island fruits right from a family plot, and wander among WWII relics above Faanui Bay. Expect laughter, ocean air in your lungs, and moments that stick with you long after you leave.
Bora Bora Lagoon Snorkeling: Private Boat, 3.5 HoursA 3.5-hour private snorkeling tour of Bora Bora's lagoon by boat, with hotel pickup included, stops at 3–5 locations where you choose how long to stay at each. You'll see manta rays, eagle rays, sharks, moray eels and coral gardens in their natural habitat, with all snorkeling gear, towels and light refreshments provided; the boat carries a small cabin for shelter and dry storage.Is it for me?The private boat means you're not waiting for a group or moving on anyone else's schedule — linger at a coral garden or follow a manta ray as long as you want, then move to the next spot when you're ready.
Private Snorkeling Tour Bora Bora: 4 Lagoon Stops, No SharingYou choose your snorkeling stops in Bora Bora's lagoon — manta rays, eagle rays, coral, tropical fish — with a private guide who adjusts the route to your pace. Hotel pickup, gear, water and snacks included. Morning (3.5 hours) or afternoon (3 hours) departures available.Is it for me?Right for couples or small groups who want the lagoon without a crowd and the flexibility to linger where they choose. Plan for a half-day out of your schedule — that's what makes the private route and four stops possible in one outing.
Black Pearl Farm Activity in Bora Bora: Choose & harvest your ownA black pearl farming activity in Bora Bora where you snorkel to oyster lines on a motu, choose an oyster to harvest, watch it open to reveal the pearl, and take it home. Boat transfer from your hotel or Vaitape quay, snorkeling gear, and a guide in English, Spanish or French are included; the experience runs about two hours and ends with local fruit and drinks overlooking the lagoon and Mount Otemanu.Is it for me?Pearl farming tours in Bora Bora often leave you watching while someone else does the work—this one puts you in the water choosing the oyster and standing beside the team as it opens, so you're the one who discovers what's inside and walks away with the actual pearl.
Bora Bora Snorkeling Cruise: Lagoon Corals & StingraysA half-day small-group snorkeling cruise in Bora Bora takes you through the lagoon's coral gardens and to a shallow site where you interact with stingrays, guided in English or French. The boat circles the island so you see Mt. Otemanu from every angle; equipment, towels, water and soda are included. Pickup is arranged for you.Is it for me?Small groups keep the boat maneuverable between the coral and the stingray site, so you're not competing for space or the guide's attention the way you would on a larger vessel.
Bora Bora: ATV Quad Bike, Volcano Views & Vanilla PlantationYou ride a quad bike for three hours across Bora Bora's volcanic interior, stopping at the crater rim for lagoon views, a working vanilla plantation where you taste fresh products and lemonade, and historic WWII cannons with cultural context from your local guide. Water and refreshments are included throughout, and the pace is set so you're not racing—just moving through the island's geography and history in a way you wouldn't see from the road.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to see Bora Bora's interior and history without a standard tour bus, and who are comfortable on a quad bike—the three-hour pace and local guide handle the navigation and storytelling, leaving you free to focus on the ride and the views.
Bora Bora: Jet Ski Island Tour & Lagoon ExplorerYou ride your own jet ski around Bora Bora's lagoon for two hours with a local guide, stopping at a motu islet, Mount Otemanu, and the volcanic center. The tour includes safety gear, instruction, exotic fruit tasting, and refreshments before you return. Book if you want to see the island's full shape from the water without arranging your own boat or worrying about navigation.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Bora Bora's full lagoon and volcanic landscape from the water without renting your own boat or navigating yourself — the guide handles the route and the stops, leaving you free to ride and look around.
Bora Bora Snorkel Cruise by Outrigger Canoe with Motu LunchA 6-hour snorkeling tour of Bora Bora's lagoon aboard a traditional Polynesian outrigger canoe, limited to 6 couples, with multiple stops to swim and snorkel among tropical fish, sharks and stingrays, plus a barbecue lunch on a private motu. Hotel pickup and drop-off, guide, and all snorkel gear are included. Marine animals live freely in their natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.Is it for me?Book this if you want a semi-private canoe experience with multiple snorkel stops and a motu lunch—the 6-hour pace suits swimmers comfortable entering water repeatedly, not those seeking a single destination or faster-paced boat tour.
Bora Bora: Morning Certified Dive Tour & Manta Rays, Nitrox FreeYou’ll slip into warm Pacific water with a local guide, spot manta rays gliding by coral gardens, share hot tea between dives with fellow divers, and maybe laugh at yourself trying to say “Mauruuru” right. Includes pickup from your hotel or pension plus free Nitrox if you’re certified—leaving you with salty hair and memories that stick around long after you dry off.

The dive site—lagoon or reef—depends on the day's conditions. Pickup and all equipment are included; if you're Nitrox certified, you dive Nitrox tanks at no extra cost. Your last dive must have been within the past year, and you must be at least 12 years old.Is it for me?If your guide speaks English or French and you're comfortable following instructions in that language, this dive works as a straightforward afternoon activity. The small group size—five divers maximum—means the guide can keep track of everyone and point out the details; if you prefer a larger group or a guide who speaks a different language, look for another operator.

Bora Bora Wellness Tour: Lagoon snorkel & island 4WD comboYou spend the morning circling Bora Bora by 4WD, stopping at four lookouts and a tie-dye workshop, then break for lunch before heading to the lagoon for an afternoon of snorkeling with stingrays, sharks and coral gardens. Hotel pickup, snorkel gear and lunch are included; the pace is steady but not rushed, and the water is warm enough that you'll want to stay in it.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see both the island's interior and its underwater life without arranging two separate tours and transport between them. The full day—with the 4WD climb, the lunch break and the boat time—is what lets you cover that much ground and still have time to actually snorkel instead of rushing through.
Full-day Bora Bora lagoon safari with snorkeling and lunchA full-day lagoon safari in Bora Bora combines snorkeling at a coral garden and marine sanctuary with a Polynesian-style lunch on a small islet, led by a local guide who shares the island's history and marine life. The boat picks you up from your resort and returns you there at the end; a minimum of four travelers is required for the tour to run.Is it for me?A shared tour means you travel with other guests and split the boat cost, which is how Rohivai Tours keeps the day affordable; a private charter would cost more and run on your schedule alone, but this one departs on fixed dates with a guide who knows the lagoon's rhythms and where the marine life congregates on any given day.
Bora Bora: Self-Drive Boat Rental, No License RequiredYou get a 13-foot boat with fuel, safety equipment, and a cooler, plus a map and recommendations for snorkeling and anchorages.

Bora Bora 4WD Tour & Snorkel Cruise: Lagoon sharks and raysA full-day Bora Bora tour that pairs a 4WD safari across the volcanic island with a lagoon snorkel cruise over coral gardens, where you encounter stingrays and black-tip reef sharks in their natural state. The guides emphasize marine conservation—no feeding, no coral damage—and share local history at each stop. Hotel pickup is included, and lunch happens at Lucky House Restaurant between the two activities.Is it for me?You get to see the island and the lagoon in one outing without booking two separate tours, which saves time and money—the 4WD and the snorkel are timed to flow into each other, so the day holds together without gaps or backtracking.
Bora Bora Sunset Catamaran Cruise & DrinksYou board a luxury catamaran at sunset with hotel pickup included, settle into sunbeds or the shaded lounge, and spend the evening watching the light change across Bora Bora's lagoon while a hostess brings drinks and snacks. The boat's nets and comfortable seating mean you can lounge however you want — quiet or social — and the smooth ride and small group size keep the whole thing feeling intimate rather than crowded.
