Top 5 activities to do in Bora Bora :

Swim with the sharks & stingrays

This is, hands down, the most popular activity in Bora Bora and for a good reason : You get to meet the kings of the lagoon!!

This activity being so popular choosing the right provider can be confusing & overwhelming. All tours, in essence, will take you to the same locations and allow you to swim with black tip sharks, stingrays and tropical fish in coral gardens.

What varies is the length of the tour (half day or full day including lunch), whether the tour is private or not, the boat, and the quality of the lunch. Here are some of the best tours I can personally recommend.

STARTING AT:

$150 per personn

Wait a minute... Is it SAFE ?!?

Are you unsure whether swimming with the shark is a good idea?

Tour the lagoon on a jet ski

I know you can jet ski anywhere, but this isn't your average jet ski ride.

The colors of the lagoon, the mountain, and the overwater bungalows will make your ride absolutely spectacular. This could be the best place on the planet to jet ski.

I recommend booking a morning tour for best colors of the lagoon.
