Private Full Day Lagoon Tour | boraborasnorkeling.tours

Reef Discovery Private Full Day Lagoon Tour & Water Lunch is a private boat trip lasting 5 hours 30 minutes, from $1,776 per group. Guests rate it 5.0 across 33 reviews.

Overview

This is a private boat day on the Bora Bora lagoon, run by Reef Discovery over five hours and thirty minutes. It is only your group on board, with a local guide. The marine list is long: moray eels, manta rays and dolphins are named in the listing, and travellers who have taken this exact tour report stingrays, eagle rays, turtles, blacktip reef sharks and dense fish life around the coral.

Lunch is served on or at the water, a Polynesian spread with Mount Otemanu in view, and reviewers repeatedly single it out. One called it epic, another described a feast of local flavours served right among the fish. Beverages, bottled water and towels are all included, along with snorkeling gear.

Hotel or port pickup and drop-off is part of the package, which makes the day straightforward for cruise passengers and resort guests alike. A moderate level of physical fitness is the stated baseline, and it is best for groups without serious back or heart conditions.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the day right, from what is already on board to who this tour does and does not suit.

What is included. Lunch, beverages, bottled water, towels, snorkeling equipment, a local guide, hotel or port transfers and the eco snorkeling tour itself are all in the price. Nothing is listed as excluded. You therefore mainly need to show up with what you would wear for a day on the water.
Fitness and pace. The listing asks for a moderate physical fitness level and advises against the tour for travellers with back problems or serious heart conditions. The private format means only your group participates.
Marine sightings. Manta rays and stingrays appear across multiple reviews of this tour, and single reviews also report eagle rays, turtles, blacktip reef sharks and tropical fish. Sightings are wild animals, so no single species is promised on any given day.
The water lunch. Reviewers describe the lunch in strong terms, one calling it epic and another a feast of local flavours served among the fish. It is served on the water rather than at a restaurant. The setting, with Mount Otemanu behind, is part of what they highlight.
Children and infants. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult, and infants must sit on laps. The boat is not wheelchair accessible. A moderate level of physical fitness is expected of travellers on this tour.
Weather dependence. The experience requires good weather, and the lagoon snorkeling depends on conditions. If it is cancelled for poor weather you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The honest limits come from the listing rather than complaints. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems, heart problems or other serious medical conditions. Cruise passengers bear a real risk: no refund is issued if the tour is missed because a ship arrives late or not at all. Because the day depends on good weather, the operator may cancel and offer an alternative date or a full refund rather than run the trip.
