Blast across Bora Bora’s luminous lagoon on a two-hour guided jet ski tour that circles the island and frames Mount Otemanu. Expect high-speed views, a coconut-husking demo, a swim stop, and practical safety guidance for reef-safe riding.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a small pier into water that seems to glow from below and the lagoon immediately begins to tug at the handlebars — warm, clear, and impatient for speed. The guide runs through controls, a light breeze lifts salt from the wake, and the jagged silhouette of Mount Otemanu cuts the horizon like an old guardian watching the day’s parade of waves.

Wildlife
History
Bora Bora is the remnant of a volcanic cone; local life evolved around reef fisheries and coconut agriculture, and many demonstrations on tours reflect longstanding subsistence skills.
Conservation
The lagoon’s coral reefs are sensitive — operators emphasize reef-safe sunscreen, no-touch rules, and controlled access to inner reef areas to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the Bora Bora Jet Ski Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear a t-shirt on the ride
Tour operators require a t-shirt while on the jet ski to protect your skin from the sun and engine heat; bring a light synthetic shirt you don’t mind getting wet.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before arrival and reapply as recommended to protect coral ecosystems during the swim stop.
Secure your camera
Use a wrist or chest strap for any water camera — waves and high-speed turns will easily dislodge loose gear.
Water shoes recommended
Coral and rocky shorelines can be sharp at the swim stop; reef or water shoes protect your feet on slippery surfaces.

Water or reef shoes
Protects feet on coral and slippery surfaces during swim and beach stops.
Polarized sunglasses with retainer
