Bora Bora is protected by surrounding reefs and numerous small islands, which account for the dazzling palette of blues and greens and the calm, clear waters. You simply can't visit this slice of paradise without entering the water. Go for it!

Board your locally-made 28' boat for a small, intimate experience in Bora Bora's pristine waters. As you glide along the lagoon, marvel at the subtle hues of azure, teal, and aquamarine just beneath your boat.

The nearby reefs are teeming with life and a stop will be made to observe small reef sharks who call this area their home. They are harmless and fascinating to watch as we swim above them.

If you're ready for a bit more interaction with sea life, an up-close encounter with the local stingrays in waist-deep water will fit the bill. They are quite familiar with people and will offer a friendly greeting by brushing you with their velvety skin as they "fly" by. With their mouths on the bottom of their body (but no teeth), they are happy to gently take a fish from your outstretched fingers as they swim over your hands.

Moving on to the Coral Garden, you'll don mask and snorkel for a spectacle of movement and color provided by angelfish and white and black convict tangs. They, too, are used to visitors and are looking forward to eating a bit of bread right out of your hand.

To add to the excitement of this day, you'll head to a private motu (island) where you'll be treated to some fresh local fruits. Bora Bora has many, many motu dotting the seascape but this one has the added advantage of a hill, perfect for a climb with fantastic views.

As you make your way back to shore, your talented boat captain will serenade you with some musical entertainment.

Bora Bora's lagoons are perfect and just what you've imagined.
