Full-Day Lagoon Tour, Lunch Included

Full Day Lagoon Group Tour in Bora Bora with Lunch is run by Lagoon Service and lasts 6 hours. It starts from $173 per person and carries a 5.0 rating across 1,715 reviews, with free cancellation.

Overview

This full-day outing with Lagoon Service packs a lagoon circuit into about six hours: a boat trip to three snorkeling stops, followed by lunch on a motu. Travellers describe the first stop as shallow, clear water where stingrays and blacktip reef sharks gather close enough to watch from the surface, the second as deeper water with more sharks and rays, and the third as a coral garden near the outer reef. The day usually ends with a beach lunch on a small islet.

The group runs with a maximum of 12 travellers. Guides come in for frequent praise in the reviews, which mention singing and ukulele playing on the boat, along with commentary on the island and its culture. Hotel pickup is included as detailed at booking, and cruise passengers report being collected at the tender pier in Vaitape. Snorkel gear, towels, bottled water, soda, and lunch are all covered.

It suits confident swimmers and hesitant ones alike, since reviewers describe guides helping guests who are not strong swimmers get into the water and enjoy the day. It is not a fit for wheelchair users, travellers with back problems, or pregnant travellers, per the listing. Families with infants should note that babies must sit on laps.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape the day, drawn from the listing and from what travellers report back.

• What is included. Snorkel equipment, towels, bottled water, soda, and lunch are all part of the price, so there is little to rent or buy on the day. Bring anything else you want yourself.
• Swimming confidence. One reviewer said the crew were hearty in helping guests who said they were not good at swimming.
• Group feel. The boat carries at most 12 travellers, which keeps the group limited in size by the listing's own cap.
• Food and drink. Lunch is served on the motu and gets consistent praise in reviews, with one traveller noting a vegetarian entree was made on request. Water and soda are provided on the boat.
• Weather dependency. The tour requires good weather, and it can be cancelled or reshaped when conditions turn. Poor-weather cancellations come with a different date or a full refund, so a wet forecast does not mean losing the money.
• Bring a camera. Reviewers describe sharks and rays passing close beneath them and clear water at the coral garden.

Common issues. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers and good weather to run; if either is missing, it is cancelled with an offer of a different date or a full refund. The listing excludes wheelchair users and advises against the tour for travellers with back problems, pregnant travellers, or anyone with serious heart conditions, and infants must sit on laps.
