My wife can't swim and Simon spent the entire six... More

If ever you get to Bora Bora do not miss the beauty of the lagoon. Christophe runs a class tour with a beautiful boat and knowledgeable guide. We saw eel, stingray and manta ray plus tons of fish and coral. Highly recommend. More

Christophe took my husband and I snorkelling. Since I was new to snorkelling, it was great to have some hands on guide who could show me how to wear the snorkel mask and how to snorkel properly. We saw manta rays, moray eels, sting rays, eagle rays and so many other fish. We had a wonderful time. More

We were guided to Christophe and PUR snorkeling, by our hotel's activities desk and by Tripadvisor, so we couldn't wait to go out with him! We were very happy that we did! Christophe is very knowledgeable about the lagoon, and very responsible to it's inhabitants -- we visited some lovely sights and got to swim with the Manta Rays, which... More

Pure Snorkeling with Reef Discovery was truly the highlight of our incredible trip! If you are in Bora Bora and can only do one excursion... do this one! From swimming with manta rays, eagle rays, and sting rays to drift diving to swimming through coral gardens, it was truly an amazing experience. We toured the whole lagoon on the boat... More

Thierry is an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about everything you will see. If you take the private tour he will take you to places no one else will and you will see the most beautiful corals and fish. He asked us what we wanted to see and fit to our comfort level. He also helped fix my snorkel that... More

I have read so many comments before deciding to go with Reef Discovery. As i had an accident in the water when i was a child, i am afraid to swim in deep water. All the good comments on tripadvisor and the wish of my boyfriend to join, convinced me to book with Christophe. The tour started this morning. Christophe... More

My wife and I went on this tour during our honeymoon stay in Bora Bora back in April. It was undoubtedly the highest of highlights in what was a truly unforgettable couple of weeks in French Polynesia. Our guide for the day was Thierry and he picked us up directly from the Le Meridien dock which was where we were... More

Pure Snorkeling Reef Discovery was an underwater adventure. Incredibly beautiful, four different reefs to explore with an expert guide. Our guide Simon was charming, professional and had an enthusiasm for the life underwater that is contagious. If you are nervous in the water--you will have nothing to fear. You will feel very safe in his care and learn how to... More

This was by far the best day we had in three weeks in French Polynesia. Christophe took us out for four hours with two other couples and Christophe's friends. He uses a power boat with a sun cover. He was knowledgable, friendly, patient and obviously loves what he does. It was my first snorkelling and he takes you to any... More
