Our captain and guide, Vatea, was the best! He made the experience so special, private, and unique. This was the perfect way to spend our 10th anniversary. We felt like we were on a one on one date on the Bachelor lol!

Absolutely our favorite excursion we did in Bora Bora, this was definitely worth the cost, our guide, Vatea was phenomenal, he taught us so much about the island history, the fish, coral, sharks etc. He taught us all about the coconut trees and showed us how to make crowns, shuck a coconut and many more things. He was so great with showing us the snorkeling hot spots and swimming with the reef sharks and stingrays. I was a little hesitant about getting in the water with sharks but Vatea was great at making me feel so comfortable that I got in and even kissed a stingray that he names Gigi! Highly recommend this to anyone wanting the experience of a lifetime seeing the beautiful bora bora!

This adventure was one of the highlights of our honeymoon in Bora Bora! Our boat trip took us all around the main island with stops along the way. We swam alongside black-tip sharks and stingrays, and we were able to snorkel through an incredible coral garden. To top it off, our delicious lunch was served beachside on a beautiful private island. Our captain, Mike, was amazing and deserves way more than five stars! He is knowledgeable and fun, and he truly made the day memorable. Thanks so much to Mike and Lagoon Service for a great experience!

The whole tour was amazing! We saw variety of tropical fishes, sharks & sting rays. Tour guide Manu was very friendly and helpful. After snorkeling in 4 sites, We had a fabulous private lunch in a private area on a motu. The food and wine were so delicious! After lunch, Manu provided us a local coconut show which was fantastic. We spent a unforgettable day with Manu and we will definitely go for this tour again if we have the chance to visit Bora Bora again!

Can’t believe I forgot to write them a review until now!! We visited Bora Bora last spring and had an amazing time with the private snorkeling tour. The guide was excellent and we had a full day or water adventures. The snorkeling was divine and we saw numerous animals. We also swam with the black tip sharks and sting rays in the wild. The private lunch was beyond delicious. All around a terrific experience. Thank you!!

We spent the day with Niko and had a once in a lifetime experience. Best part of our stay here. We swam with stingrays, spotted eagle rays and black tipped sharks! He serenaded us with ukulele and singing. He was very gentle with us as we were not super experienced snorkelers. He served us an amazing lunch and beverages. He made us things out of palm leaves. He gave us so much history about Bora-Bora and the area. He also told us everything you would ever want to know about coconuts and demonstrated how to choose, peel and eat them. You will be so glad you took this trip!

Mike and Manu were top-notch captains, guides, and musicians as we toured Bora Bora by boat. The sharks, rays, and reef are not to be missed, but the tour company matters. The hospitality and overall experience with Lagoon Service can't be beat!

Best experience I have ever had. Wonderful! I have traveled all overthe world and this was the best place I have ever been at. Maui (name of the guide; not the Hawaiian island) and his sister made the experience even better: genuine, kind individuals! Will have that memory for the rest of my life! Extremely grateful and worth every penny!

We booked the private lagoon boat tour with shark and stingray snorkeling and lunch on motu.
We were picked up by our guide Rainui (the best and we’ll get to that) at our Four Seasons dock. He cheerfully greeted us and placed our belongings carefully on the boat. Once we began, he explained what we should expect as we journey around the island. He’s very proud of his culture so he’s knowledgeable and shared very good information with us. He also said if he’s talking too much, just let him know and he won’t be offended at all. We were totally fine with him explaining. I also asked him if we could stop at Matira beach for a couple of minutes to get a drone shot since our resorts had drone restrictions. He gladly anchored the boat and gave me plenty of time to shoot.
Our first spot was stingray snorkeling. One specific female stingray loves him. I forgot her name though. She always waits for him. As soon as we arrived, she started swimming around and when he jumped in the water, she was just swimming all over him. It was like seeing a puppy finally meeting its owner after a long day. He taught us about the stingrays and explained to us how they take care of them. Since it was a private tour, we got to swim with the stingrays so closely for the whole time.
After that we went out of the lagoon into the ocean side. We told Rainui my wife has extreme motion sickness so he took that into consideration and was very careful with his maneuvering into the ocean and she had no problem! Once we got out of the lagoon, we got to the shark snorkeling area. It was filled with black tip reef shark (about 4 ft long average). There I was able to fly the drone again and had time to snorkel. There were tons of shark! No need to be afraid because these sharks are more afraid of us than we are afraid of them. I admit I was a little scared when I first experienced shark snorkeling.
We headed back to lagoon and towards the coral garden. Once we got there, there were so many colorful corals. Rainui led us around the garden slowly so we can see the fish, corals, clams, and everything else that were living there. He explained to us how easy it is for us to damage/kill corals but how difficult it is to grow/revive them. He showed us a coral he and his uncle planted 15 years ago and how much (or little) it grew. That really put into perspective how corals have been damaged throughout the ocean and haven’t been revived enough since then. Sad, but gave us more motivation to be mindful about the ocean and the nature.
We were headed towards the motu (small island) where we would have our private lunch. But not so fast! During the boat ride, Rainui told us about his uncle who is the owner of Lagoon Services. He lives on his own island with 12 dogs! We talked about how my wife loves dogs. It wasn’t part of the itinerary but Rainui took us to his uncle’s island! We actually met the uncle there and saw his twelve dogs running around and swimming in the ocean. Not done yet! The uncle said to wait as we were leaving. He was just baking fresh coconut bread and he gave us some to eat. OMG this was the best coconut bread we ever had. Every coconut bread we had after that, didn’t compare.
OK now it’s time for lunch, for real. We got to the motu with a table set in the shallow water with all the food prepared for us. Rainui explained every single dish and how to eat using the plate made out of coconut leaves. The food was the bomb! There were grilled chicken, beef, and fish, along with various kinds of Tahitian bread, rice salad, vegetable salad, and various fruits. Juice, water, oh and yes, beer and wine. The quantity was more than enough for the two of us. And the quality? Idk why they don’t have any Michelin stars. Nothing beats eating delicious food with our feet in cool lagoon water, tiny fish swimming all around, stingrays and sharks come and go, the view of Mt. Otemanu right behind turquoise blue water, all the while Rainui singing and playing his ukulele.
Rainui, if you're reading this, parahata YOU ARE AWESOME! If you're reading this to figure out your Bora Bora activity, you should've booked it 5 minutes ago!
