Top Bora Bora Day Cruises

We just returned from our second trip with reef Discovery! We had the same guide we had 9 years ago. He was just as amazing as he was then! Fabiane took us to all the best places for snorkeling, especially on a day when the ocean was rough. He knew just where to go. We had a wonderful day, a really special time on their private Motu for lunch, It was an OMG day ....money well spent!

We had our best day in bora bora with this private tour. Fabien is very professional and fun! We saw lots of manta, eagle ray, turtle, stingray, shark and tropical fish. The water lunch is epic!

This was an amazing sunset cruise! Our guides Tehere and Hermana were awesome and made the cruise so much fun! We cruised around the island and then stopped for the sunset where they served us fruit and champagne and we took a ton of pictures. Then they drop you right off at the restaurant for dinner right on the ocean. This tour is worth every penny!

Extremely relaxing! Staff and crew are just the best. Bora Bora Water World is a very unique experience. The color of the ocean is mind blowing

Very nice experience. Be sure to snorkel, don't forget the camera.

Champagne toast on the water overlooking the sunset was beautiful.Dinner was amazing and great atmosphere.

Excellent adventure with Reef Discovery….the personal attention on the private tour with the incredible snorkeling and amazing water lunch was totally worth it!!! Our tour guide Fabien was a perfect leader…very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with and we would highly recommend him. We had such a great day we requested Fabien to take us out on a 2nd private 1/2 day snorkel which took us to many new locations! Don’t miss out on this truly incredible experience …the highlight of our trip to Bora Bora

We were 6 couples traveling together. We had 2 boats on october 13th, 2025, because the maximun capacity of each boat is for 8 guest. Our guides were Fabien and I do not remeber the name of the other guy, but both of them were super friendly and super attentive. The boats looks new, clean and very good manteined. We took the option for a full day tour They picked us up at the pier of our hotel (the Intercontinental Thalasso, which is amazing as well), and at the begining we went to snorkel and swim with the stingrays and the small sharks of the reef (they are inofensive), which was and unforgetable experience, then we went to, swim and snorkel to the reef with thousand of fishes plenty of colors, which was an marvellous experience as well. But the best part was to have lunch in a private Motu (island), literally inside the water, with a lot of fishes, small stingsrays arround us, and some baby shaks as well. The food was a DELICIOUS buffet, very fresh and great variety of local dishes. The guides took great care of us all the time and during the lunch. They served us red and white wines, champagne, beers, water and soft drinks. By far, this is one of the most memeorable experience for our lives time, it was really AMAZING!!!!! At the end of the lunch, the guides took us back to our hotel to rest for 2 hours, and then, they came back to pick us up for a Sunset evening with champagne. One of the boats playaed music, so we sang and dance at the boats enjoying the beautiful sunset of Bora Bora. 2 hours later, they drove us the our hotel, and we all of us felt plenty of happines. This tour is amazing, the service of Reef Discovery is exeptional, and the guides very funny, attentive and so kind. WE HIGLY RECOMENT REEF DISCOVERY for a Half or Full day at Bora Bora, and do not miss the lunch at the Motu inside the water, you will rember it forever.

We booked a private sunset cruise through the St Regis with Bora Bora Water World and had a delightful time. We we picked up at our hotel by the Captain of the ship and taken to the glass bottom boat on the other side of the island. It was a private tour so it was just us and the boat crew. We saw a ton of fish on the reef, were treated to a delicious appetizer tray and all the drinks we wanted. They were warm, extremely personable, and the boat was spotless. Couldn't recommend the experience more highly.

Our sunset cruise began with a pickup at our hotel, exactly on time. We shared a small boat cruise with just one other couple which was very nice. The captain gave a nice tour of the bora bora lagoon showing us many stunning sights. Fruits and beverages were provided. We watched the beautiful sunset while toasting with champagne.After sunset we were dropped off at the restaurant St. James where we had an incredible dinner, waterside. Transportation back to our hotel was also easy. Highly recommend.

The cruise was a bit soggy the day we went. The host adapted well, and broke out the drinks and snacks early to accommodate. The three other couples on the tour were a lot of fun. We had great conversation and made the best of the weather. Fortunately, the sun broke through the clouds right before sunset giving us not just great pictures, but also a nice rainbow.Then the dinner was very good. The atmosphere was perfect, right on the water. Between the three of us, we tried all the different menu options. All were good, though the baked brie was our favorite. We also tried all the mocktails. The Virgin St. James was the best in our opinion.We would definitely recommend this tour.

Nice boat and the host was friendly. Had a nice ride around the best parts of the island. I wasn’t super fond of the prolonged stop at one spot in the direct sun. Would have preferred a brief stop and then move on. Dinner at St James was fabulous. On deck overlooking the water and gorgeous sunset. Food was excellent! Pretty pricey, but that’s French Polynesia.

Wonderful time, boat crew exactly where to go for the spectacular sunset. Dinner was delicious and the setting could not have been better.

Sunset cruise and dinner were phenomenal! Pick up at the resort was easy and the boat ride allowed us to see a large portion of the island. Dinner was delicious!

We had a great time. Dinner at St James was really good just wish we had more than just two dinner options.

Our second time with Fabian and this company… Love everything about it! We snorkeled in 4 different spots and had lunch on a private island with baby sharks and sting rays all around us. Don’t look anywhere else, if you are looking for a pair ate tour, this is it!
