Private Bora Bora Snorkeling Cruise with Optional BBQ Lunch on the Beach

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Discover your own underwater paradise on a private cruise of Bora Bora’s snorkeling hotspots. Lounge on the deck of a private vessel as you glide around this Pacific island, stopping to swim in lagoons, snorkel amid colorful coral and schools of tropical fish, and look for stingrays and blacktip reef sharks. When booking, choose the 3-hour cruise or upgrade to the 6-hour cruise that includes a barbecue picnic lunch on a motu (a reef islet).

After pickup at your hotel or the Vaitape pier, board your private boat for your 3- or 6-hour snorkeling cruise, which provides a customized experience with your own captain who shows you the best of Bora Bora’s lagoons and coral reefs.

Set off around the island to prime spots based on your interests and the conditions that day. You may head to shallow waters to see stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, either swimming in the water with them under guidance from your captain or just observing from the boat. You’ll also snorkel around coral gardens teeming with fish, which your captain can help you identify. If you are new to snorkeling or nervous in the ocean, your captain is happy to assist you so that you feel at ease in the water.

If you select the 3-hour tour, you’ll return around midday for hotel drop-off.

Optional upgrade:
If you select the 6-hour tour, follow the itinerary above, plus stop for lunch at a pristine motu beach with a view of Bora Bora’s Mt Otemanu and a sparkling blue lagoon. While your captain prepares a Polynesian-style barbecue picnic, you can relax on the white sand and cool off in the clear waters.

When lunch is ready, eat at a shaded table on the beach, choosing from dishes such as grilled fish, chicken, or beef, served with salad, fruit, and other sides. Afterward, enjoy more time to snorkel, swim, or sunbathe at your leisure. At the end of your 6-hour cruise, your captain returns you to your Bora Bora hotel to wrap up your private tour in paradise.
