- Inspire047409866040 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experience!!We had an absolute blast!Ken was an amazing captain! He was so fun to br with! Wr all shared some laughs, he answered all our questions, & best of all showed us all the amazing highlughts of this jewel of an island! He even helped me succumb my fear of the deeper areas and literally became my 1 on 1 guide. It was just an all around once in a lifetime experience! We can't wait to come back next time! We saw so maby sharks, stingrays, & colorful fish and he fed them also! Loved every second!Written 17 July 2024
- OnAir6579960 contributionsPrivate Beach LifeGreat company! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to make your experience great. They care about your safety and genuinely want to make sure you have a good time. Each boater is given a gps tracker, cell phone and map of the island. We had a great time, and took the boat to a white sandy beach and had the beach all to ourselves. It was basically like our own private beach. We also went snorkeling, but please be cautious, we went out pretty deep and the current was a lot stronger than we were expecting. Overall, great experience and very friendly and helpful staff.Written 5 June 2024
- alexjJ3100WP0 contributionsGreat private tour of Bora BoraGreat tour! We snorkelled at three different places. We saw beautiful corals, fishes, stingrays and sharks! Tupuna was a great guide! 100% recommend!Written 15 April 2024
- socalfam0 contributionsSensational lagoon ride with beautiful stopsThis was a great intimate experience with an excellent, friendly guide who gave us great service and memories! Comfortable boat, awesome snorkeling! Would definitely book this experience againWritten 14 April 2024
- nigelj5740 contributionsNo Respect for SafetyRip off company ! We got to the dock after completing the documentation and security deposit please note you could be liable for a $2000 propellor if you hit the shallow coral/rocks especially when rough. The water was extremely rough and the lads on the beech stated that they did not recommend going out orjust give it a try. but stated that the office personnel do not come to the beach to see weather conditions !. Went back to the office with another couple who also thought it was too dangerous. We where offered a twin boat the next day with the other couple but we had another trip booked the following day so no refund offered. I am gradually putting this across all social media platforms to advise any potential travellers to be very carefully if thinking of booking these trips with these rip off companies.Written 4 April 2024
- 174kellis0 contributionsGreat Private Tour experienceFun trip, new spots we hadn't seen. We didn't see a Manta but just snorkeling that massive coral channel was satisfying too. We saw eagle rays, a turtle and so many fish and giant corals. Easy going private tour.Written 24 March 2024
- 174kellis0 contributionsSmall and slow cruisingFun way to tour yourself around!! They give you a cooler but bring your own drinks and snacks. It's small and slow so I don't recommend if you're looking to speed around. The ladder is a bit rough getting in from the water...if you're a larger person I would ask them about their bigger boats! Great time!! Snorkeled and swam.Written 24 March 2024
- davideH2548FK0 contributionsWhite Shark Cruise around Bora BoraWe really enjoyed our 6 hour cruise on White Shark with Ken as our captain. Swam with the rays and sharks, snorkelled in the Coral Garden then went to a nearby private beach for a swim. Had lunch at Bora Bora Yacht Club. This has to be one of the highlights on our recent Paul Gauguin cruise. Thank-you Ken!Written 19 March 2024
- 577teresitac0 contributionsSharks, rays, and spectacular coral gardenWe swam with rays and sharks and snorkeled in the most beautiful coral garden. Glen shared his local knowledge and was a friendly, accommodating guide. This is a don’t-miss activity while in Bora Bora!!Written 11 March 2024
- Tahititim0 contributionsCatamaran self-drive adventure I will never forgetI have rented a no-boat license catamaran from La Plage for a whole day, but initially was a bit apprehensive if I will be able to do it on my own. We had a very thorough explanation of how things work and what to do during an emergency, we also had a satellite phone, and they will test it before you leave, to make sure you know how to use it and it is in working condition. They can give you a cold box too, make sure you buy your food and drinks to take on this adventure. Important: Make sure you study the given map thoroughly, so you know where to go for the next stop! And before you leave the stop - study where to go for the next - it will save you time and nerves! The boat was not as new or nice as on photos but was in good shape and very easy to use. We encircled the entire lagoon during the whole day with enough time to do several stops, even visited a remote motu. I would do this again in a heart bit!Written 7 February 2024

- sharoncT2610VF0 contributionsJust do it!Great day out on the water. Friendly service, clean boat with shade and coller box supplied. Complimentary transfer from the cruise pier was a great help. One warning: For older, less athletic travellers, getting back into the boat from the water, via the little ladder provided, can be a tricky/hilarious/ difficult process.Written 2 February 2024
- wlp070 contributionsGreat Boat Rental Experience!Rented a pontoon boat for the day and it was glorious. Our only regret is we didn’t do it again before leaving bora bora. Really enjoyed visiting the coral gardens and the eagle ray point. Boat was in good condition, and service was very friendly. Prices are quite reasonable. It costs a small fortune to do a group tour in bora bora, and the incremental increase to just rent your own boat with la plage isn’t that much, and it makes for a far more intimate, unique and memorable experience. They even include a cooler and ice. Highly recommend!Written 13 January 2024
- kbb111860 contributionsFun and affordable way to exploreLa Plage had excellent service and friendly staff. We rented a small boat with an outboard motor and puttered around the lagoon. Anchored a few times to snorkel and check out a beach. A fun, simple, affordable way to get out on the water.Written 9 January 2024

This was the absolute best experience we had in our 9 days in Bora Bora. Our captain, Glenn, was informative, fun and a great guide who helped us navigate 3 different snorkeling locations and truly made for the best day. This is a must try experience to see the full island and its marine life. Glenn told us about Polynesian culture / history throughout the trip. The lunch was fantastic, the most romantic and remote location, eating great bbq food with little fish swimming all around you. 100% would do again and recommend this to anyone trying to experience the island in its full capacity. 10/10!

This tour was AMAZING! Lulu is the man! We had a number of random requests (bringing a specific bottle of wine, picking friends up at another resort, changing the pick up time last minute), and he happily obliged!
We saw giant mantas, sting rays and sharks and had a delightful snorkeling experience. Lulu was knowledgeable and fun. Our lunch experience blew any expectations out of the water! Private island with a dining hut over the water.... it was heavenly. Highly, highly recommend!!

We had UPA as our guide for the day and he did an amazing job. We asked him to take us to unique snorkel spots and he took us to some of the neatest places I’ve ever seen. The lunch was really neat, sitting on a table in the water and a locals house and beach, very authentic. If you se UPA, ask him how he likes his new sunglasses, he’ll get a nice smile on his face..

We had an amazing time touring around the island of Bora Bora. Alphonse was a great guide & brought us to multiple snorkel spots. Two of the spots were particularly beautiful. Some of us even swam with sharks and stingrays at a different stop. We had a lovely lunch on a private motu. I believe a wedding reception was at the same location the night before so our little table over the water was decorated with pretty flowers and greenery. Alphonse was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us a great time!

This was hands down the best thing we did while in Bora Bora. My husband and I Went on a 6-hour private tour that was set up through the Conrad. We brought our own snorkel equipment from the hotel. This tour is worth every penny. Our guide, Arii was phenomenal. We were blown away by the wildlife we saw and got to experience a one-of-a-kind lunch on a private Motu. We kept saying to ourselves, "Wow, we are currently living one of the best days of our lives." We saw giant manta rays, a pod of eagle rays and leopard rays, too many blacktip reef sharks to count, giant eels, and did the best snorkeling we have ever done anywhere. Thank you Arii for a great and unforgettable day, we would recommend this tour to anyone and would absolutely do it again another day.

We had an amazing day with Arii and La Plage Tours. We (4 adults) opted for a private full-day lagoon tour with lunch on the motu on their "Champagne Boat." The boat was roomy, clean and overall perfect for our day. When a pod of playful dolphins decided to swim along side our boat for 20-30 minutes, I was able to lay down on the deck, close to the surface of the water and feel like I was swimming along with them. It was magical!
We also snorkeled with black tip reef sharks and a 'fever' (?) of about 50 eagle rays. Wow. Arii picked us up right on time from our hotel dock and entertained us throughout the day with his musical talents. Lunch on the motu was relaxed and delicious. Snorkeling in the coral gardens was the best I experienced in the French Polynesia.
Overall, highly recommend a day out with this company. It was a highlight of our 8 days in French Polynesia.
