This was a tremendous snorkeling trip. We saw and swam with lots of beautiful fish, stingrays and sharks. And our fabulous guide, Manu, led us through beautiful coral gardens. He was such a pleasure to spend time with. I’ve snorkeled a lot and would highly recommend this trip!

Great Bora Bora trip.

Chris was a great friendly guide. We had a variety of encounters with small sharks, sting rays, manta rays and numerous tropical fish. A good time was had by everyone.

A-MAZ-ING Snorkel & Lagoon Tour

Roxy, Apr 2024

One of the highlights of our trip! Manu is FANTASTIC. He is super knowledgeable and gives a kickass tour. Stop looking through other snorkel tours and book now! Our group was picked up at the resort. First stop Coral Gardens. Second stop shallow water with sharks and stingrays. Third stop deeper about 30 feet water with more sharks! Unfortunately, we missed the manta rays. We boated around the entire island’s lagoon and learned a lot about the island. Thank you Manu, we had an absolute blast!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Manu is truly exceptional. Thank you for your feedback ! Don't hesitate to come back ! Mauru'uru Roa

Great snorkeling in Bora Bora

nevatravel, Apr 2024

The coral garden snorkeling was amazing. The sharks were plenty at the first stop, but no eagle rays at the third stop. It was 18 + 2 people on board and it felt a bit tight. Also was challenging to get in and out of the water. It felt wet a breezy on the way back when sun was low (we had an afternoon trip). Take extra towels.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the coral garden snorkeling and encountered plenty of sharks. We apologize for any inconvenience due to the boat’s capacity and the challenges with water entry and exit. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll strive to improve the comfort of our tours. We appreciate the tip about extra towels, especially for afternoon trips when it can get breezy. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!

Amazing experience in Bora Bora

An amazing snorkelling tour. Ian, our guide and captain was charming, full of fun facts and took us to some awesome snorkelling sites where we swam with sharks and eagle rays. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Ia Ora Na Antonio. Thanks a ton for your kind comment. I am so glad that you guys enjoyed the tour and I hope to see you both soon for another adventure here in Bora Bora. Take care my friend. - Ian -

Courteous, professional and highly responsive. Great operator.

Christopher_F, Mar 2024

Highly recommend. The tour guide Ian was very professional and explained everything very well, the tour company was highly responsive on WhatsApp in the days leading up to our tour. We were taken to 3 different snorkel sites. There was fortunately only one other couple, so just the four of us on the tour, the operator provided fins snorkel and mask and a variety of cold drinks. The tour was not rushed and was well paced, and Ian was knowledgeable and super friendly. We were picked up from our hotel. Great value and would definitely go with the same operator again.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hello Christopher!!! Thank you so much for your kind and thourough comment. I was very happy to have you onboard and showing you the beauties and treasures of Bora Bora. I really hope to have you both with me again very soon. Take care. - Ian -

Go with this group

David_G, Mar 2024

Chris our guide was great! We enjoyed our 4 stops and the highlight was the coral gardens! I have never seen such vibrant life and color! We even saw Manta Ray's on our last stop. Lots of large rays and black tipped sharks on our first two stops. The whole trip was worth the price of admission.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

That's wonderful to hear! Sounds like it was an incredible trip :-) See you again in Bora Bora !

Wonderful family snorkeling

JackieBowlin, Jan 2024

Ian and tour was amazing! I have probably been on 20 different snorkeling tours and my husband and I both said this was the best we have ever been on! Really enjoyed our time and the water and corals were amazing! My only recommendation would be to have them have a sign to find their boat a little easier

Hervorragend Schnorcheln

DieterE_M, Jan 2024

Unser Kreuzfahrtschiff kam mit 3 Stunden Verspätung in Bora-Bora an, die Mitarbeiter des Tourveranstalters Rohivai Tours warteten geduldig auf unsere Ankunft. Ramon erwies sich dann als sehr freundlicher und umsichtiger Guide der uns zu 3 verschiedenen Plätzen zum Schnorcheln brachte, wo wir Riffhaie und Korallengärten bewundern konnten. Es war ein sehr schöner Nachmittag. Einziger Wermutstropfen: in Vaitape waren fast alle Geschäfte und Lokale geschlossen.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Wir danken Ihnen herzlich für Ihr positives Feedback zu Ihrem kürzlichen Erlebnis mit Rohivai Tours in Bora-Bora. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass Ramon Ihren Nachmittag trotz der Verspätung Ihres Kreuzfahrtschiffes sehr angenehm gestaltet hat. Ihre Anmerkung bezüglich der Schließung der Geschäfte in Vaitape nehmen wir ebenfalls zur Kenntnis.
