Memorable and One-of-a-kind Experience - Manu, our guide, was awesome. He educated us on various sealife that we saw: Manta rays, eagle rays, sting rays, and black-tip sharks. He sang and played the ukulele for us. He taught us how to open a coconut. He's funny, entertaining, attentive, and accommodating of all of his guest. The land excursion was just as great: delicious food, friendly people, and beautiful scenery. We learned how to make pareos, which you can make and purchase. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept credit card at the moment.

Yeah, your going to like it! - My wife and I had a great time! We were taken to some spots with very clear water for snorkeling, saw several large manta rays, many sting rays, sharks, and had a great lunch with two shows from our guide, Manue. Manue not only did a great job guiding us on the lagoon snorkel tour, but he also showed us how to make and wear a pareo and how to open a coconut. We also learned which type of coconuts were good eating at various times of ripeness. Overall, don't miss this tour and request Manue be your guide. You won't be disappointed.

The best tour in Bora Bora. - This tour was an amazing adventure. We saw rays of different types, corals, sharks. Food was good and painting & coconut shows were fun.
But above all, best guide ever. (Manu)

Exceptional trip - Exceptionnel trip. Chaotic Check-out, it was really raining bcp. Can't postpone the safari because of the plane the next day. We try our luck and go anyway.
Manu greets us warmly and let's go. Walk in beautiful waters until the first shark spot in the open sea. Little hesitation to dive with. We look at the others. We take the boat back to a second spot with rays and sharks. We have feet, the waters are beautiful blue. Come on, let's dive. The kids love it, too. Swimming with sharks, rays... Wow
We take the boat back to the coral reef: magic
Excellent meal in the water with hundreds of fish around us.
Dream day in paradise.
Many thanks to Manu for sharing this moment.
I don't say everything, I leave surprises for future adventurers, there are even more fabulous than sharks:-)

Amazing snorkeling - poor food - My review is quite mixed given the below:
- snorkeling: despite poor weather we had an amazing tour by Christian with good visibility to see all kind of rays and black-tip sharks. One of the best in leewards islands😀
- meal: awful except if you feel nostalgic of canteen food in the 90’s - cooked rice with 2-3 corn’s grains / cooked local chicken - cucumber & carrot salad with scarce raw fish - industrial coconut bred - low cost madeleines (butter cakes) - banana & canned fruits!!!
- cultural activities: paréo painting & coconuts opening - average especially when you are the first boat onsite and have to wait 2h for the others to start
Meal & activities are outsourced to a local licensed restaurant which obviously does not have any employee with cooking qualification (when I asked why don’t they cooked vegetables or grill fish or meat as peers they answered that it requires some specific skills / when I asked why none of the deserts where homemade (even coconuts bread!!!) or why they did not have any fruits except banana the answer that it is difficult to find fruits… or you have to steal them from your neighbors???!!!!;-)!!
Icing on the cake, the owner of the so called “restaurant place” was rude with me without reason
So my advice is to go for the half-day tour to avoid the restaurant scam!
