Experience private jetboard lessons on Bora Bora’s calm lagoon with a local instructor. Learn throttle control and basic techniques during a 10-minute briefing followed by about 50 minutes of riding, capped with local fruit and hotel transfers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The lagoon opens like a bright sheet of glass, and your instructor pushes a compact motorized board into the shallows. You feel the engine hum beneath your chest, the reef-filtered water cold against your calves, and Mount Otemanu watching from its jagged skyline. In a private session you’ll move from a focused ten-minute briefing into roughly fifty minutes of guided and independent riding — standing, kneeling, or prone — across the sheltered turquoise inside the reef.

History
Bora Bora’s landscape is the remnant of a volcanic cone; Polynesian navigators settled the islands centuries ago and the lagoon has long supported both subsistence and recreational seafaring.
Conservation
The lagoon’s coral reef is sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreens, avoid standing on or touching coral, and follow instructor guidance to minimize disturbance.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Drink water beforehand and eat a light snack; sessions are active and you’ll want stable energy for balance and focus.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen before getting on the board to protect coral and avoid reapplying in the water.
Secure loose items
Bring a waterproof pouch for keys and phones or leave valuables at your hotel; strong winds can toss unsecured gear.
Know the limits
Be aware of the 105 kg/230 lb weight limit and 14+ age minimum; inform the operator of any back or heart conditions.
Swimwear
Quick-drying swimwear or a one-piece provides comfort while handling the board.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects both your skin and the coral ecosystems in the lagoon.
Water shoes
Protects feet when entering from shallow motu or on rocky shorelines.
Light waterproof camera or action cam
Capture rides and reef scenery; secure it with a tether to the board.
