Spend a relaxed half-day on a 46-ft catamaran through Bora Bora’s famed lagoon—snorkel coral gardens, float in shallow bays with an on-water bar, and enjoy small-group service aboard a former racing yacht.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slides out of the marina and the lagoon opens like a bright, shallow bowl—turquoise pushing at the hull, coral gardens waiting below. Onboard, the former racing F40 hums into cruising mode; cushioned benches and a shaded lounge invite slow conversation while the captain points toward the first snorkel site.

History
Bora Bora grew from volcanic activity and became an important stop in Polynesian navigation; European contact and later tourism reshaped the lagoon economy.
Conservation
The lagoon’s coral reefs are sensitive to sunscreen chemicals and anchoring—operators increasingly use moorings, and visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral.

Reef-safe sunscreen
Use reef-safe, high-SPF sunscreen and apply at least 20 minutes before entering the water to protect coral and skin.
Bring a personal snorkel mask
Masks provided can fog or fit loosely—your own mask ensures better visibility and comfort while snorkeling over coral gardens.
Watch for currents
Even in a sheltered lagoon, channels and tidal flows can be strong—listen to guides about entry and exit points.
Limit alcohol before snorkeling
Enjoy the floating bar, but moderate drinking before snorkeling; dehydration and impaired judgment increase risk.
