Glide across Bora Bora’s lagoon on a quiet electric board from Matira Beach. This one-hour private cruise offers easy access to coral gardens and marine life with minimal effort and low environmental impact.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stand at Matira Beach with the warm sand underfoot and the lagoon unfolding in gradients from aquamarine to cobalt. A quiet electric board slides you away from the shore — no strenuous paddling, just a gentle throttle that lets the water carry you past coral fingers and motu fringes. In an hour you can trace a 300 m arc from the beach, skim over shallow gardens and hover where turtles graze.

History
Bora Bora formed from a volcanic cone; over millennia coral growth created the protective lagoon that Polynesians navigated and which now supports pearl farming and traditional fishing.
Conservation
Coral reefs are fragile—operators emphasize reef-safe sunscreen, low speed to reduce wake, and no-touch practices to minimize impact on marine life.
Reserve your spot on the Private Electric Paddle Cruise in Bora Bora today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use only reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral; reapply in the shade before launch if needed.
Morning departures are calmer
Winds build in the afternoon — book early for glassy water and better visibility over coral gardens.
Wear reef footwear
Short swims to or from shore can involve sharp coral; reef shoes protect feet when entering/exiting at shallow spots.
Know basic swim skills
The activity is stable and safe, but being comfortable in the water speeds recovery if you fall off the board.
Life vest (provided)
Worn for safety and is included with the rental.
Reef-safe sunscreen
