Jet Ski Combo, Lunch Included

Moana Adventure Tours pairs two halves of the lagoon in one shared day: jet ski time on the water, then an eco cruise with shark and ray snorkeling. The full outing runs 6 hours 30 minutes, from $303 per person, and holds a 4.8 average across 391 reviews. Free cancellation applies. What the day includes, how pickup works and where to book are covered below.

Overview

This full-day combo from Moana Adventure Tours packs two of Bora Bora's biggest lagoon draws into one booking: a guided jet ski ride and a shark and stingray snorkeling cruise, with lunch in between. The whole thing runs 6 hours 30 minutes and caps the group at 8 travellers, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. You can book a single or double jet ski.

The order, based on the operator's description, is jet skiing in the morning with an experienced guide, then lunch, then a snorkeling session in a shallow lagoon at the reef with sharks and stingrays. The lunch venue has moved from Bloody Mary's to Lucky House, called Fare Manuia, while Bloody Mary's stays closed for a year.

It suits travellers who want a packed day and moderate fitness. It is not for pregnant travellers, anyone with serious back or heart problems, or wheelchair users. One reviewer found the combined format long and tiring by the end, so it is worth going in expecting a full schedule rather than a relaxed cruise.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make this day go smoothly, from what to wear on the jet ski to how the two halves of the tour are actually organized.

• What to wear. The listing asks for sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, a towel and coral reef shoes, and a T-shirt is required on all jet ski tours.
• Bring cash. Gratuities are not included in the price. Gratuity for the guides is the only item the listing carries as not included.
• Pace and fitness. Travellers should have a moderate fitness level.
• Group feel. This is a shared tour with a maximum of 8 travellers. Reviews describe friendly guides who joke around and keep everyone moving.
• How it runs. Knowing this in advance avoids surprises.
• Weather and sea state. The tour needs good weather, and one reviewer found stretches of rough water on the jet ski leg unpleasant.

Common issues. The main gripes are expectations versus reality and fatigue. Some travellers assumed they would jet ski between snorkel spots, when in fact a boat handles the snorkeling legs. One reviewer felt the combined day was long and that a single activity would have been enough. The listing flags exclusions for pregnant travellers, those with back or heart problems, and wheelchair users, and cancellations made less than 24 hours before start time get no refund. Poor weather can cancel the day, with a new date or full refund offered in that case.
