Snorkeling in Bora Bora: 4 hours with lunch on board

Swim through coral gardens and past rays, then eat on the boat in the middle of the lagoon

A full-day private snorkeling activity in Bora Bora's lagoon with 4 hours in the water, a live English or French-speaking guide, and an on-board lunch prepared by the chef. You'll encounter stingrays and sharks among the coral, then return to the boat for a Polynesian menu served with Otemanu mountain as your backdrop and no other boats around.

The experience

What makes a snorkeling day feel complete? Four hours in the water, then a meal that matches the view. This activity runs that way: you spend the morning and early afternoon in Bora Bora's lagoon with a guide who speaks English or French, moving through the coral gardens and the sites where stingrays and sharks gather. The boat picks you up from your hotel, so you don't arrange transport yourself.

Once you're back on board, the chef serves lunch. A Polynesian menu that includes shrimp tartare with citrus, tuna and guacamole wraps, teriyaki chicken kebabs, and coconut panna cotta with caramelized pineapple. You eat in the middle of the lagoon with Otemanu mountain across the water and no other boats in sight. Snorkeling equipment, towels, bottled water and soda are all included.

Is this one for you?The 4 hours in the water is the core of the day, so this suits someone who wants real time underwater rather than a quick dip between other stops. The lunch on the boat afterward means you're not rushing back to shore or eating at a restaurant on land. You stay out on the water and eat where you've been swimming.
