We took a private 3 hour snorkel cruise and I can safely say it was the most memorable thing we did in Bora Bora. We were picked up at our dock at the St.Regis at 9am. Our guide was very knowledgable, and we learned a lot about the marine life, islands and historical aspects. We first went and saw manta rays, which was a great experience. We then made our way to see the stingrays and sharks. On our way there, our guide cut the engine of the boat and drew our attention to many pods of dolphins, some of which started to jump out of the water. We were very lucky to see dolphins, as we have since been told this is very rare. It is great to get in the water amongst the sharks and stingrays. Our guide briefed us on how to behave around the sharks and rays. I appreciated this part as it indicates that the company cares about the welfare of the marine life and don't want them being harassed. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone. Having your own speed boat means that you can get across to various sites quickly and can fit a lot into the 3 hour time period.

Very fun swimming with the sharks. Our guide was very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this tour! The stingrays were friendly! Our driver was timely and friendly as well! Picked us up and dropped us off from our Airbnb.

I recently booked the 4-hour Private Lagoon fishing experience with Moana Tours in Bora Bora, having had great experiences with them on two previous occasions. However, this time around, the trip turned out to be a major disappointment and fell far short of my expectations. To begin with, our tour guide arrived approximately 10 minutes late, which immediately set a negative tone for the experience. We started with what was referred to as "fly" fishing, although it was quite different from the fly fishing I have experienced in other locations. Instead, we found ourselves fishing in shallower waters with top-water lures for a mere 10 minutes before transitioning to trolling. During our brief trolling session, we had an exciting moment when we managed to hook a shark. However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment as the line broke, and we were unable to land the shark. We then switched to jigging, hoping for better results. Unfortunately, the experience turned into continuous frustration as we kept snagging on what seemed to be coral rather than actually catching fish. Despite the guide's persistent claims that we were indeed hooked up to fish, I began to doubt the validity of the catches. Our doubts were reinforced by the consistent line breaks and hooks breaking free. It became increasingly apparent that if there were actually fish biting, the equipment provided was inadequate, leaving us ill-equipped to handle such encounters. This pattern of unsuccessful fishing continued for the majority of the tour, lasting approximately three hours. We were left with a sense of disappointment and dissatisfaction, as our primary goal of catching a fish remained unfulfilled. With only 15 minutes remaining, I expressed my desire to try another spot in hopes of landing a fish. The guide took us to an area where we observed a significant number of fish, but unfortunately, we had barely any time to fish before being called back. Throughout the entire trip, we never managed to catch a fish, contrary to the claims made on the Moana Tours website. The promised opportunity to catch popular lagoon fish such as jackfish, rainbow fish, small barracudas, and lagoon bonito seemed elusive as if we were inadvertently targeting 100-pound plus fish that kept breaking the lines and hooks the entire time. We returned empty-handed, except for a single small grouper caught by the guide. Our butler expressed surprise at the lack of our catch, further emphasizing the underwhelming nature of the experience. We did see a large group of dolphins while fishing which was definitely the highlight of the trip. Given my previous positive encounters with Moana Tours, this fishing trip was a significant letdown. The late arrival, misrepresentation of fishing techniques, inadequate equipment, lack of successful catches, and limited fishing time all contributed to a highly dissatisfying experience. I strongly advise others to explore alternative fishing tour options in Bora Bora to avoid similar disappointment.

This was probably the most exciting thing I did in Bora Bora besides being on a overwater bungalow. The staff was great and they even accommodated my time since I was a little late due to my flight arrival time. Most things you can do in Bora Bora. You could get the full experience all in one with this fantastic excursion. I’d definitely recommend.

My wife and I has a great time on this snorkel tour of the Bora Bora lagoons. It was our first time here and Nicholson did a great job. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend this tour!!! It was such a fun day out on the water swimming with sharks and sting rays (I was scared initially but the guides made me feel so safe and I was able to relax and have fun) and also jet skiing around the island. Jean and Malarkey (spelling?) were our guides for the snorkeling and they were both awesome - also made everyone laugh the entire time with their hilarious jokes! Ali was our guide for the jet skiing, we loved her! She was so friendly and gave us the best tour!

We visited Bora Bora for our Honeymoon and chose to do the Romantic Island Tour with Jean and two other couples! We had a blast! Jean was so awesome, informative, funny, and a great ukulele player! We couldn’t have asked for a better boat driver/tour guide! We snorkeled and saw the entire island by boat and then we had an amazing lunch on the beach prepared by Jean’s cousin. The food was amazing! Thank you Jean for making our first excursion in Bora Bora AMAZING! We also did the Jetski your with Jeff on another day and he was equally as awesome! We toured the entire island on Jetskis, stopping every now and then for Jeff to explain something to us. We also stopped on the private island and Jeff showed us how to crack a coconut! Totally awesome! Overall, I don’t feel like you can go wrong with any excursion with this company! They are very informative about the islands culture all while making your tour fun!

Hello, Our tour wasn’t private but with a group of other couples. I have to say that our tour guide was great. She seem very full of energy, happy and super friendly. She loves her job!!! I don’t recall her name, too bad. She was very knowledgeable provided us with great information about the areas we visited. We had such a great time during the tour. Did not rush us at all, and gave us quite some time to swim with the sharks and stingrays. This tour is a must for sure!! You must visit the Garden Coral as well… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had THE most perfect afternoon w Maui (how perfect if that is his real name and the company is Moana Adventures!). :). He knew all the perfect spots to take us to, first on the reef to swim w manta rays and reef sharks (I somehow overcame my fear of sharks quickly!), then to the most magical corral gardens. We ventured around the island at leisure after that to round out a perfect day. Maui even helped us spot a very elusive (and thankfully sleeping!) nurse shark for some perfect photo oops. He was attentive the entire time, providing drinks, music and photographer skills all afternoon! Would highly recommend this company, and ask for Maui!

Tarepa was a fantastic Captain, he found all the right places, efficient and safe, good heart. Thanks for the great tour!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! 🎉🔥 I booked the Ultimate romantic Tour in Bora Bora with my husband. Glenn was our Captain for the day and he made our experience incredible. We were greeted with 90s/naughties classic music (perfect way to start to celebrate turning 30). You can sit at the front of the boat enjoying the sunshine and the breathtaking views. We experienced swimming with sharks, sting rays, Manta Rays (which was the nost breathtaking experience) and snorkeling among different coral reefs. We managed to get amazing go pro footage. Glenn came with us for all the experiences and was very educatuonal, teaching us about the different sea life and spots around French polynesia. We had a private lunch, which wad the best food we had when we stayed. We had the Polynesian raw tuna (get ready for the most fresh fish), barbeque meat and fresh salad and fruit. Glenn made all from scratch and even gave us fresh coconut to try. Glenn even sang to us, which again just topped our experience. It was worth every penny and will be a memory my husband and I will treasure. BIG SHOUT OUT TO GLENN!! An amazing man who just made our trip!

This is a great tour to go around the entire island of Bora Bora by jet ski. It was fun, but keep in mind its a bit fast, so the person on the back (me) has to hold on. I was a little sore the next day. They took us to lunch at Bloody Mary's, which was a good spot. The snorkeling portion was fantastic! Saw a lot of black tip sharks and sting rays. Even got to see some eagle rays. The guides were all very helpful and friendly.

Did this trip as part of our honeymoon on Bora Bora and it delivered on its expectation. Saw a lot of great fish, including an unexpected baby octopus, and swimming with sharks and stingrays felt unreal in the best possible way. Overall felt very safe, thought well through, and the boat was in great condition. It's hard to do a bad ocean trip in Bora Bora, but this one definitely felt worth the time and money.

Ali, Maui and Jeff were fantastic guides! We had a great day- best of our trip. Such a fun excursion- learned a lot about island & culture! This is a must- do for anyone!

Our favorite excursion by far!!! Richard did a fantastic job and made the day perfect! We saw stingrays, sharks and an eagle ray!
