Sail through Bora Bora’s gorgeous lagoon in an intimate deck boat, taking in the island’s astounding natural beauty and then snorkeling through the crystal-clear waters. This is a perfect way to discover the beauty of the Pearl of the Pacific, joining the pleasure of boating in a small group.


Your guide will welcome you onboard this intimate, partially covered deck boat, and you’ll cruise into Bora Bora’s reef-ringed lagoon. The beaches are sugar-white, the water absolutely brilliant, and the lush backdrop of Bora Bora, a veritable Shangri-La. Few places on earth rival this setting. Cruise past Motu Tapu, and see from the distance, one of the most photographed islands in the entire South Pacific. You will notice that Bora Bora is actually a caldera, and the two peaks at the center of the island—Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu—are the remnants of an extinct volcano. The peaks look particularly dramatic from the sea.


A stop in clear water will allow you to enjoy a fresh dip and even some snorkeling. Look for stingrays, as these gracious creatures are often seen in the area; you may enjoy a beautiful encounter with them! As you glide through the typically calm waters of the Coral Garden, you will see schools of brightly colored tropical fish.


Cruise into the turquoise waters off Matira Beach, where huge manta rays are often spotted gracefully swimming by. You’ll make a brief stop on a sand bank to enjoy some refreshments.
