Outstanding in every way

5.00Aimee and her captains are outstanding from start to finish. As experienced snorkelers and boaters we can highly recommend this company. We opted for two tours on consecutive days. Our captain expertly brought us to numerous highlight spots based on his decades of knowledge of the area and individual animal habits and behaviors. We saw many manta rays, eagle rays, sharks, and a few turtles. And of course innumerable fish and corals. We learned a lot about the geological, nautical and cultural history of the island. Our captain respected the wildlife above all. Booking and communication were all easy and professional. Thank you!
Bora Bora Lagoon Guided Tour A Must

5.00Our family had a wonderful experience in Bora Bora with our guide Terai. We were able to see the beautiful lagoon by boat. We stopped at great spots seeing sea life up close including eagle rays who were swimming so gracefully with each other. The Coral Gardens of Bora Bora were breathtaking and Terai guided us through the most beautiful fish, coral, clams, sea cucumbers to name a few. Our guide Terai provided great insight/information and answered all of our questions. An adventure to remember!
Perfect Snorkeling Trip!

5.00We had multiple stops on a beautiful snorkel adventure. We learned about the island and the ocean around Bora Bora. We swam with black tip reef sharks in the deep water. We explored the most colorful and abundant coral reef. This is worth every penny to have a private excursion customized to your family.
Great snorkel tour

5.00Awesome experience. The captain keeps informed us about the weather before depature. During the activity the captain showed us best snokeling spots around the lagoon. Captain is very friendly and knowledgeable about marine. He prepares fresh towels, drinks and snokeling equipments. Since it was a private tour, you can adjust the route and places with the captain and he will try the best to accommodate your request. It was a memorable experience and I definitely will recommend this to everyone who wishes to visit Bora Bora.
Safe, Fun, and Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure for the Whole Family

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Matt and Raou. They took us to several incredible snorkeling spots, each offering something unique. I felt completely at ease with my kids, as Matt and Raou stayed in the water with us and kept a close, watchful eye the entire time. The kids were thrilled to see stingrays, sharks, and the aquarium with colorful fish. Everything was very well organized, and they provided drinks, towels, and all the snorkeling gear we needed—including life vests, noodles, and a buoy
Unforgettable Experience!

5.00Aimee was really lovely to work with pre-cruise to arrange our private tour. When our cruise line changed the itinerary at the last minute they were able to accommodate us so we could still have the excursion. We had a group of only five people so there was lots of personal attention from the guide who carefully maneuvered us, and the boat to bring us closer to the group of Eagle Rays. We had three snorkel stops…one with Manta Rays, one with Eagle Rays and then the absolutely incredible, gorgeous coral garden. We snorkeled five different islands and Bora Bora was THE BEST! Thank you H20 Bora Bora for an unforgettable experience!
Excellent
