This is a must to do while in Bora Bora. Recommend Tony and Candice as thier expertise, friendliness and hospitality was beyond perfect. An amazing way to see the island, snorkel in beautiful water, and end the trip with a floating bar in the perfect water and sand. It's the best part of our trip and look forward to sailing with Vitamin See again! Thanks again Tony and Candice!

Beautiful catamaran and experience!!

David_H, Apr 2024

What a wonderful and beautiful way to see Bora Bora! Our weather wasn’t the best so for safety precautions we didn’t get to snorkel but we got to sail longer! The crew was amazing and made sure everyone was accommodated and comfortable. This is a must do….thanks for the memorable time💕🌸

Superior experience & lots of memories

NicholasB_H, Mar 2024

Terrific experience!!! This was the highlight of our trip to Bora Bora. The all-female crew was amazing. So very nice and informative. Great ride, scenery, snorkeling, and drinking from the floating bar. We even got to drive for a bit and made new friends. Highly, highly recommend so sign up today.

Awesome time!

kristen_c, Mar 2024

Such a a great trip!! I highly recommend booking with Vitamin Sea. They are the only catamaran day trip in bora bora. Would definitely book this trip again when we return to bora bora

It was very relaxing,...

John_D, Oct 2023

It was very relaxing, boat was much smoother than power boat. Loved the little floating bar. Klement and Amy were both very nice. My wife and I r both very happy! Thank you!

Amazing experience

Ryan_K, Sep 2023

Amazing experience. Snorkeling was fantastic followed up by the floating bar. Guides were A+++ and super friendly and accommodating. Boat was incredible. Open air catamaran experience was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Best couples tour

Kevin_S, Aug 2023

This was an amazing experience for me and my new wife. We had done a catamaran ride in another location but this tops it! The couple who operates this is nothing short of amazing. The group size is small enough to enjoy but not quite private. The locations where we went were amazing and the floating bar was awesome. Can’t recommend this enough!

Sunshine and tan lines

Darian_A, Aug 2023

One of the most enjoyable things we did. Easy day with lots of sun to snorkel and then finish the day off with some alcohol!? Met some great people and had a blast

Perfect Day Trip Through Bora Bora’s Waters

Janet_W, Jul 2023

What a wonderful trio of experiences! We sailed the clear blue waters around the east side of Bora Bora. With a lengthy, guided snorkeling time at a beautiful reef we enjoyed seeing all sorts of aquatic life and coral. We sailed on with a stop in shallow waters to enjoy a “floating bar” (with great homemade rum punch and a coconut opening demonstration). It allowed us a little time for the nine passengers to get to know more about each other while we sipped our drinks. Finally, we sailed back to our starting point and bid adieu. I would have loved more sail time and less motoring; but with the constraints of a four-hour trip, I understood the need to motor part of the distance. The captain and first mate were wonderful, informative and very helpful. I would highly recommend this as a great way to see the island’s wonders.

Awesome experience! Clement and Nanni were wonderful hosts!

Kim_M, May 2023

Everything was great! Highly recommend this tour. Ocean time with floating bar allowed us to get to know others in the group as well as our hosts/crew.

A beautiful sailing experience. This is what Bora Bora is all about. Snorkeling in clear warm turquoise waters.

Best Bora Bora Excursion to date!

Greg_S, Dec 2022

Capt Tony and Paula took great care of us. Went to one of the better snorkeling sites I’ve been to here and hanging out at Paradise beach was priceless.

Such a fun time!

Jillian_L, Jul 2022

We had such a great time! The crew was awesome and their boat was relaxing. My only recommendation is to bring your own snorkel gear if you have it.

Great crew and great...

Michael_M, May 2022

Great crew and great experience. We didn’t want to leave! The views were amazing and learned so much about the plant life…drinks were great too!

Worth it

Scott_s, May 2022

The captain and mate were great. We had a nice sail, some snorkeling, some rum punch and made new friends.

You Must do this Excursion!

Gregory_H, May 2022

Really unique experience. Most do!

Silas_E, Apr 2022

Really great crew and boat. Only wished we could have sailed more and done the floating bar for a shorter period of time, but the wind wasn't super strong that day :). Certainly beats most cattlemaran experiences you would get in somewhere like HI, VIs, etc. by a wide margin

The Best Catamaran!! So...

Jamie_L, Mar 2022

The Best Catamaran!! So friendly, the rum punch was great, the sailing was great! Super comfortable. Would go again when back in Bora Bora! Thank you for a great day!

Fun despite the weather

Lori_S, Feb 2022

Arthur and Kiki were very lovely. Unfortunately, our sailing was cut short due to bad weather, but they were very kind and accommodating, kept us safe, and gave us a refund. We hope to sail with them again someday!

Awesome!!

Stanley_K, Nov 2021

Candace and Tony made this a very memorable experience. It truly could not have been any better. They were great hosts and really accommodating. We had a fantastic time!
