Snorkeling in Bora Bora: Private Lagoon with Slide Boat

Slide into turquoise water and snorkel with rays and sharks from your own boat

Private snorkeling in Bora Bora's lagoon aboard a boat equipped with a slide, led by an English or French-speaking guide who shares Polynesian stories. The boat takes you to uncrowded snorkeling spots where you'll encounter rays, sharks and coral gardens. Pickup is included, and the four-hour outing covers unlimited beverages, snorkeling gear and towels.

The experience

The boat itself is the setup: a floating lounge with a slide at the stern, reserved for your group alone. You navigate through Bora Bora's turquoise lagoon at your own pace, stopping at spots the guide chooses to keep you away from the tourist crowds. The guide speaks English or French and weaves in Polynesian stories as you move between sites. Snorkeling equipment (adjustable masks, snorkels and fins) is provided, so you bring nothing but yourself.

What you actually do is straightforward: enter the water at each stop, explore the coral gardens and watch for rays and sharks moving through the shallows. The slide is there for kids and anyone who wants it. The shower on board rinses off the salt. Unlimited soft drinks and water keep you hydrated across the four hours. Towels are waiting when you climb back aboard.

Pickup is arranged as part of the booking, so you don't need to find your way to the boat. The guide handles the navigation and the storytelling. You handle the snorkel.

Is this one for you?Pickup is included, so you don't need a rental car or local transport to reach the boat. The private boat means your group snorkels without sharing the space with other tourists, and the guide steers you toward the uncrowded spots where rays and sharks actually appear.
