SHARK & RAY SNORKEL SAFARI

This is the most popular tour on Bora Bora, a unique experience not to be missed.

At first your guide will show you the harmless and elegant grey sting rays on a shallow sand bank. If willing you might have the chance to touch those graceful creatures with the assistance of your guide, as they swim in an effortless ballet in and around the swimmers.

The second stop will be more thrilling as your guide will attract some black tipped reef sharks with bait, at three to five feet in length, these sharks are quite harmless. If lucky the huge napoleon wrasse might even show up.

Before returning to the hotel jump in for a last swim in the majestic coral gardens, snorkel among a great variety of tropical fish and gorgeous coral formations in depths varying from 4 to 50 feet.
