Wakeboard, Ski & Tube in Bora Bora: Flat-Water Lagoon

Learn to wakeboard or ski on glassy water, then watch others take their turn.

Wakeboard, water ski, tube or foil board on Bora Bora's protected lagoon with a certified instructor and professional guide. The boat stays in shallow, flat water so you can progress from your first attempt or refine skills you already have. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Sessions run from 30 minutes to a full day.

The experience

What makes this different from watersports anywhere else is the lagoon itself. The boat operates in the shallow, flat water close to shore, which means no chop, no wake from other traffic, and the kind of conditions that let beginners actually stand up on a board instead of spending the session in the water. Certified instructors are there to spot you, adjust your stance, and push you toward the next level if you want it, or just keep you upright and grinning if that's the goal. You pick the sport: wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing, or foil boarding.

The session length is yours to choose, from a quick 30-minute taster to a full day on the water. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off come with every booking, so you don't arrange transport. The guide speaks English or French depending on the option you select. Minimum age is 6 years old, and the activity suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or during pregnancy.

The flat lagoon is what makes learning fast, so shorter sessions still give real progress.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

Can I try wakeboarding if I've never done it before?

Yes. The flat lagoon water and certified instructors are set up for beginners, and the boat stays close to shore so you have ideal conditions to learn. Progression from your first attempt is the point.

What's the difference between the 30-minute, 1-hour and 2-hour options?

The 30-minute session is a taster of one sport. The 1-hour and 2-hour options let you try multiple activities (wake skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, foil boarding) or spend longer perfecting one. Longer sessions give you more time in the water and more attempts to progress.

Does the price include getting to the boat?

Yes. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off are included in every booking, so you don't arrange your own transport to the lagoon.

What if I just want to watch while my family tries the sports?

You can ride along and watch others take their turn on the board. The boat accommodates spectators as well as active participants.
