Detailed itinerary
1
During this private half day snorkeling tour you have the luxury of setting the pace of the tour. You can spend as much or as little time at each spot as you want. We aim to visit between 4-5 separate spots depending on individual requirements and time constraints. The itinerary of the tour will depend on what you would like to see and also on the conditions of the day. We aim to show you manta rays, eagle rays, natural coral garden teeming with life and a stop to the outer reef to see sharks. All the animals are seen in their natural environment and we do not partake in any feeding of any kind. Between each spot you will enjoy a leisurely cruise to the next one soaking in the magnificent scenery. You can enjoy light refreshments throughout the course of the tour and at the end you will be driven back to your accommodation. Join us on this private tour and make the most of your stay in Bora Bora :)
