          Fun time in Bora Bora
          We made the first tender off the ship so were early for our pickup. Moana was there early too. We rode the boat to their facility and got organized for our outing. Unfortunately, we were 2 couples traveling together but we didn’t mention that earlier so they had us in separate groups. They did get us together for the jet skis but there must be some rule about each 4 needs a guide and they assigned a second guide. All around the island on that beautiful water! Then off to lunch at Lucky House restaurant as Bloody Mary’s has closed. Great food and plenty of it! The afternoon was the rays and sharks but unfortunately there were 3 cruise ships in that day so the area was crowded. That means stirred up sand and less visibility. Also no rays this time, they said because they are no longer allowed to feed them. Glad we saw them in2020! By now the rain was coming but we had a lot to look at at the coral garden near the reef. Bigger waves with the storm and the ride back was stinging drops of rain, but warm at least! Moana took great care of us again and we had a fun day!

          Jewel in the shadow of Otemanu!
          Mana and Joseph were kind and generous with their time! People would travel on a vacation to see one of the six things we saw during the excursion. Starting with the pod of 50 dolphins that we saw, and then the 15 foot manta rays we were able to swim with for a while, then the eagle Ray pod of 40 eagle rays that were swimming in the depths, Then the prescribed snorkeling with rays and sharks, to the coral reefs that were the most magnificent I’ve ever seen, including at least 40 species of different fish in one space. Riding back to the resort, we were able to see the military leftovers on the island of the cannons and some of the military installations. The water break at the at holes was another feature that was so amazing because 15 foot waves were crashing over the adult and it made you realize how snuggled and protected the island was by using the lava ring around it. I cannot recommend this tour enough! You must do this.

          Swimming with Rays and Sharks - It's a Great Experience
          This was an excursion that was well worth it. To be that close to the marine life was amazing. Just like it says... Sharks and rays... And lots of other fish. The guides were great... Moana Adventure Tours did a great job with this adventure.

          Galls Bottom Boat & Beach/Snorkel Tours
          We were with them for 2 tours booked through our cruise ship. 1) Glass bottom boat over reef and to view stingrays & sharks (1.5 hours) 2) snorkel with rays/sharks and beach tour (3 hours) Both tours had good guides. The beach portion was on a portion of an island, with snacks and demonstrations. Both were good, but would suggest you might see more sea life in the morning.

          A dream excursion
          A once in a lifetime experience! We booked the Honeymoon package on a private boat. Taai was an amazing captain and made the adventure even more wonderful. We snorkeled with the rays and sharks, swam over the Manta Ray, explored a beautiful coral bed and had the most romantic lunch on a private island with Taai grilling our meal…highly recommend this tour!!!!

          This was an amazing experience, first was the 4x4 around the island our tour guide was knowledgeable and drove us to the highlights of the island. And then we got dropped off at the Lucky house for an amazing lunch. After lunch our Jet ski tour guide Matt picked us up and we had an exciting jet ski tour around the island. Absolutely the best tour to do.

          Outstanding experience on 2 different excursions
          We booked 2 private tours with Moana Adventures: 1) the private guided jet ski tour and 2) the private boat rental. Our guides on both excursions were fantastic. Booking was simple, seamless and thorough. Before booking, I sent an email to ask a question and received a response very quickly. Pickup at our resort was perfectly on time. The guides on both of our excursions were fantastic - they were professional, kind and patient. Our boat rental captain went out of his way to help us view wildlife for snorkeling. An excellent process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

          Excellent snorkel tour with our guide Jean
          We booked a 2.5 hour snorkel tour, and we got lucky because a group of 10 cancelled at the last minute, so we got a private tour with just the 2 of us on a small boat. Our guide, Jean, was incredible. We were able to swim with the sharks and sting rays in shallow water, which was great but I think pretty standard. Then Jean took us out to deep water, and after circling around for a while told us to jump in quickly, and just below us were about 50 eagle rays swimming in formation, one of the most beautiful encounters with nature I've experienced. He then took us to another location where he had us drop in right as a 15 foot manta ray was coming right toward us. We finished by snorkeling in a beautiful coral garden. Jean was an exceptional guide who also told us about his experiences growing up on the islands. Highly recommend this tour

          Bora Bora Private Boat Tour – A Dream Come True
          Our 7-day cruise through French Polynesia was filled with unforgettable moments, but this private boat tour was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip! Ruma, our incredible guide, picked us up in the afternoon directly from the dock of our hotel, Le Bora Bora Pearl Resort. From the start, she made the experience feel truly tailored to us. Knowing we’d already enjoyed plenty of snorkeling on prior excursions, we asked to focus on the stunning scenery of Bora Bora—and she delivered beyond our expectations. Our first stop was a secluded private island (motu) with the most breathtaking view. The serenity of the island was unparalleled; it was just the two of us, surrounded by pristine beauty. From the motu, we had an unobstructed view of Mount Otemanu, rising majestically in the background—a sight that truly took our breath away. Next, Ruma guided us to an iconic vantage point right in front of the Intercontinental Thalasso Resort, where Mount Otemanu's dramatic peaks seemed even more awe-inspiring. From there, we cruised to the southern part of Bora Bora, where the expansive blue lagoon stretched as far as the eye could see. The endless shades of turquoise and azure created a surreal, almost otherworldly experience. Along the way, we encountered graceful eagle rays, stingrays, and a vibrant array of tropical fish, adding a touch of adventure to the tranquil scenery. Ruma’s deep connection to Bora Bora and her vast knowledge of the area made the tour all the more special. Born and raised on the island, she shared fascinating insights about its culture and hidden gems. Her family’s history in the boat tour business shone through in her expertise and passion for creating unforgettable experiences. The boat, a cozy and comfortable 17-footer, was perfect for two people, and the tour offered incredible value for its price. If you’re looking for a private boat tour that combines breathtaking views, intimate moments, and authentic local expertise, I can’t recommend this experience—and Ruma—enough. It was pure paradise, and a memory we will cherish forever.

          Exploring under the water in Bora Bora!!
          We had an absolutely amazing time! Nicholson was fantastic. We swam with sharks and stingrays, snorkeled through a beautiful reef teeming with fish, and even got to swim alongside eagle rays. Overall, it was an unforgettable day!

          Awesome adventure
          We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with captain T! He picked us up at our hotel Pier right on time. We loved Snorkeling with sharks and sting rays, they come super close but also felt very safe. We got to see a school of eagle rays and amazing coral garden as well. Totally stunning!! Definitely recommended.

        Ali was a wonderful tour guide! She started slow enough for everyone to get comfortable with their jet ski, and then went faster for a more exciting experience. We stopped at a motu for a quick visit to the other side of the barrier reef, had some fresh coconut (Ali showed us how to open them!), and went for a little swim. Overall, it was a fun afternoon.

        If you’re reading this, the answer is yes! Just do it!
        Our transfer boat from the Four Seasons showed up promptly at our departure time and took us safely to the office where we needed to check in for our excursion.
        From there, we were introduced to Ali and she allowed us to store our bag while out on the water instead of using the dry compartment on the ski.
        Ali was awesome. She knew my need for speed but then also knew my wife was a little less adventurous and would like to just enjoy the water and site-seeing.
        We went to a private beach, learned how to select and open a coconut which was an amazing experience. We also walked about 5 minutes down a pathway and saw the reef that had been formed over the years.
        During the excursion we learned about different mountains and islands as Ali took us along the trip.
        Would definitely do this again and would recommend Ali as your tour guide.

        When our cruise visited Bora-Bora there was the opportunity to do a jet ski trip around the island. This gave us a great perspective of the island and had a chance to see the beautiful terrain from all sides. Our guide, Matahi, was very knowledgeable and we felt safe on the tour while having a lot of fun. We would recommend asking for him. The jet skis we were on were in very good shape and easy to operate. We did not have a lot of experience with jet skis, so the short operation and safety course at the beginning was much appreciated. It was well worth the cost and the three hours the tour took.

        A couple of tips, if you are not used to the Polynesian sun make sure to either use good sunblock or wear a hat and shirt because when you are on the Jet ski you don’t feel the heat of the sun. A person we were on the tour with did get a pretty good burn. Also, bring sunglasses as it’s not only helpful with the sun, but also with the water splashing from the Jet ski.

        My wife and I had a lovely tour guide, Ali. She was informative and made safety her top priority when touring us around Bora Bora. We had a great time riding together on a single jet ski and had 3 opportunities to switch drivers. We both had a lot of fun driving the jet ski. Ali helped us go at a comfortable pace for ourselves whether we wanted to slowly cruise or zip quickly through the lagoon. Ali also demonstrated how to husk a coconut and we got to do it ourselves as well! Also go to see many crabs on one of our stopover islands. We had more fun than we thought we would. We highly recommend the excursion to anyone willing to tour the sights on a hey ski!

        From reading the reviews we should have requested Ali....
        We had 2 guides and not once did they ask the pace we would like to go or check to make sure everyone was comfortable.

        This wasn't a "tour" it was everyone trying to keep up with the guides on the jet skis. No info was given to make it a "tour", it was merely a race. We were going 70kmh, constantly turning an zig zagging, it felt pretty unsafe. Maybe if you were an adrenaline junkie this would be for you??? But with all the turning and the high speed there was no time to soak in the surroundings.

        Pick up was very unorganized, they only had us down for 2 even though we booked for 4. Also after the activity we had to wait around a bit and watch the staff figure out who was going to shuttle us back.
        Don't wear any valuables as one couple flipped over and loss their sunglasses and hat.

        No coconut demonstration was given, we stopped at an island, the guides said "30min we're here" and put a bowl of coconut on a table. That's it.

        My wife and I scheduled a two hour JetSki tour today with Moana Adventure. The pick up was right on time and extremely professional, as we made our way to the launch site. Once we arrived, we were greeted and offered a secure place to store our belongings as well as excellent instructions on how the JetSki tour would be conducted. Ali was outstanding as she got us situated and explained the process. Once in the water it was simply fantastic. Terrific guidance by Ali as we toured the entire island. Her stops were well timed for great photos and she answered all questions in a truly pleasant manner. We ended up stopping for a snack of fresh coconut, mango and grapefruit prepared by Tao while also going for a swim in an absolutely beautiful spot. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience except we made a memory for life. Thank you Ali, Tao and Moana.

        Amazing Jet Ski Experience! We had a blast jet skiing the entire island of Bora-Bora with Ali! It was the highlight of our honeymoon! We felt like we were in a Charlie’s Angels movie! The jet-skis were new so they were in excellent to play with. She also provided some instructions on how to open a coconut like how Tom Hanks did in the movie Castaway :D we highly recommend booking your adventure with this company.

        For first time jet skiers, Ali was the perfect hostess and guide! the instructions were very clear, she checked in often and took several breaks to stretch our legs and shake out our hands. She even went so far as to share sunscreen and take our picture on her own phone, as we arrived without ours. The private island was idyllic, and the fresh coconut and view of the reef was spectacular! By the time it was time to head back, we were perfectly comfortable on the jet ski and able to reach top speeds.

        Thank you Ali - you made the tour a highlight of our trip to Bora Bora!

        A great way to see the entire island. This is a fast paced fun tour. A couple of stops along the way for swimming and photos, and our guides cut up coconuts, mangoes and bananas on a motu for us at one of the stops. Most people couple up on the jet skis, but my advice would be to go solo and each get your own if you’re willing to pay the extra. It’s a long and bumpy ride to be in the back! Guides were great. I’d definitely do this tour again.
