Anniversary trip to Bora Bora looking for a day activity that included snorkeling and food. Looked at a lot of different options and finally decided to do this full day private tour. At the time of booking I thought the price was pretty high for a couple but it is a bucket list vacation so we went for it. The boat was on time and easy to find at the dock. Vatea our guide very friendly with a great sense of humor. In less than 20 minutes from leaving the dock we were snorkeling with sting rays and sharks. Conditions were windy but the boat cut through the water and was stable. The next spot put us into shark infested waters. I did not expect The Wife to get in at this location but Vatea jumped in with us and we had the most amazing experience snorkeling with the friendly black tipped reef sharks. Vatea also was able to take us around the lagoon put us on some beautiful corals which are amazing in person. The colors here are not captured well on camera. Lunch was plenty of food and high quality and tasty. The private hut on the Motu and the live ukulele music by Vatea was a nice touch. Vatea also took time to explain the palm tree and coconut and made a beautiful purse for The Wife. Looking back so happy that we decided to do this tour and now feel this was the best value for the experience.
