If there’s a place on earth where the underwater world feels like a living, breathing dream, it’s the lagoon of Bora Bora. On a Half Day Snorkelling Expedition, get set and head out aboard a sleek and comfortable Cap Camarat boat for a morning of pure marine magic.

Led by an expert guide—a friendly and knowledgeable marine biologist—you’ll cruise across the crystal-clear turquoise waters, stopping at carefully chosen locations that offer some of the best snorkelling in the South Pacific. Each stop reveals a new world: vibrant coral gardens, peaceful sandbanks, and the outer barrier reef, teeming with life.

As you slip into the water, you’ll be immediately surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colour. Damsel and butterflyfish dart through coral branches, while curious triggerfish and schools of friendly reef fish swam right beside you. You’ll hover over swaying anemones and admire the coral formations shaped by time and tide. The highlight will be the beautiful underwater ballet of Manta rays and Eagle rays, which usually happens in the morning, when the lagoon is still peaceful and empty.

The guides bring the experience to life with fascinating insights into the lagoon’s ecosystem, helping you to understand and appreciate the fragile beauty of this underwater paradise. Between snorkelling stops, soak up the sun on the boat’s cushioned deck, sipping refreshments and taking in the postcard-perfect views of Mount Otemanu in the distance.
The tour will be adapted according to the weather and swell conditions, and your host will ensure a good level of comfort and communication. This is more than a snorkelling trip—it’s a connection to nature in one of the most breathtaking places on the planet. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a first-time snorkeller, this lagoon adventure in Bora Bora is not to be missed.
