Board a private pontoon and glide into Bora Bora’s coral-ringed lagoon to snorkel with rays and reef sharks, enjoy a Polynesian-style lunch, and explore quieter snorkeling spots away from the crowds.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step off the dock and onto a low-slung pontoon where the lagoon opens like an invitation — a band of turquoise that darkens to cobalt where coral slopes drop away. The captain trims engines gently, local music folds into the sea breeze, and the guide points to a shallow patch where black-tip sharks cruise and southern rays glide like living shadows daring you to slip in.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral and skin — apply mineral sunscreen at least 15 minutes before entering the water and reapply after swimming.
Go early for visibility
Morning light usually gives the best underwater visibility and fewer boats at popular snorkel sites.
Secure loose items
Bring a waterproof case or leave valuables ashore — currents and wake on the pontoon can toss unsecured gear.
Respect marine life
Keep distance from rays and sharks and avoid touching coral to protect wildlife and yourself.
