We did a half day shark/ray tour with Leo of Raanui Tours and it was excellent. We circumnavigated the entire island over the course of the trip and saw so many creatures on the three stops. I won't reiterate the other - very detailed - reviews of the individual snorkel stops. Suffice it to say we saw and got close... More

We had a fabulous day with Arieta even though it was raining at the start. Her family is so friendly and kind. We snorkeled with the rays and sharks, over the Coral garden and in some deeper water. FANTASTIC! There were only 15 on our tour which made it easy to move around and take pictures on the boat. The... More

My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon on Bora Bora. We did the half day tour. We were picked up at the hotel pier by a gentleman speaking very little English, and we proceeded on a lovely boat ride to Vaitape where we were met by Arieta. They loaded up the boat and we were off. Our... More

My husband and I did the full day tour with Leo and his wife. We loved everything about this excursion and loved that it's run by a family. It's a great value and we couldn't believe how much we were getting for what we paid. Leo and his wife took us and another couple out to swim and play with... More

The day after we did a tour with Reef Discovery, we when on Ranuui's full day Lagoon Safari with lunch. Our guide for the day Leo (accompanied by his wife) arrived at the Hilton dock just about on time. There was a tad of confusion at first because two boats arrived at the same time, looking the same and I... More

I highly recommend a day with Arietta and her family in Bora Bora. Our tour included swimming with the sharks and rays (sounds scary, but not in the least), two amazing opportunities to snorkel, a boat tour around Bora, Bora (the most unbelievable turquoise water I have ever seen), and a delicious lunch of fresh fish, meat, and veggies on...
