    Since some people who will travel to Bora Bora do not have the physical ability to get out of the boat and swim for some of these excursions, I would make sure to recommend that they still head out for the day and see the island by boat. Although Sarah enjoyed most of the out of boat activities, she chose to stay in for the last stingray adventure portion, which was perfectly fine by the guide... He was nice enough to bring the rays to her! I am sure they would offer a discounted rate for people who would not be able to get out and enjoy the full tour, but would still enjoy seeing the sights!

    You go with a group in a Range Rover on a tour of Bora Bora. The guide takes you to different locations to give you panoramic views of the island. Sometimes it is pretty crazy how steep the inclines get, you feel like you might tip over. Yikes. One cool thing is that the guide stops to pick some pineapple and grapefruit and gives everybody some. Yummy!

    The jeep safari is a four-wheel-drive circle island tour of Bora Bora, taking in the rugged (and seldom seen) interior of the island. This includes the most scenic WW II gun emplacement on Bora Bora and the radar station atop Popotei Ridge, which is otherwise inaccessible. You also visit some of the ancient marae, rusting Quonset huts, ammo dumps, the TV tower and some other great panorama's.

    It's an excellent excursion to get familiar with the real Bora Bora.

  • The highlight of this bumpy ride for me was visiting the mountaintop artist. He paints beautiful pareos and had these awesome black stencils in the silhouette of island fish, which he used these to design his fabrics.

    Excursion: Vavau 4x4 Tours

  • Just wanted to write about a great experience I had while visiting Bora Bora on my honeymoon. My beautiful wife and I were there for a week, and stayed at a beautiful hotel in Bora Bora the 4 seasons. while we were there we did many excursions, but the one that stood out the most out of all of them was the 4x4 tour. Our guide Patrick was such a knowledgeable person, he really took his time and showed us everything we wanted to know about Bora Bora and more. and hada great sense of humor We had heard from a couple we met while out there that the other company was ok but spent most if there time at a pearl shop almost half the tour.
    If you had one choice in all the different things to do out there, you should definitely try the 4x4 by Vavau. i think they are available at most hotels not really sure though....

    Excursion: Shark and Sting Ray Feeding

    Really great afternoon out. Includes a trip round the island and shark and sting ray feeding. This is not for the people frightened of large animals touching you! The shark feeding was a bit strange but enjoyable. The tour guide gets in the water with you and he feeds the sharks fish guts which float around in the water with you while you stay behind a rope guide in the water very close by snorkeling so you can see what is going on. With the sting ray feeding you are allowed to feed these - they seem to suck in the fish from your hand as they brush past you in the water. Ask at your hotel about this kind of trip if you are interested!

    A great way to see the island. Our 4 hour tour took us up and around the island, in addition to the adventure of driving on the "rough paths" of the mountain. We stopped for a snack of pineapple and grapefruit served on the hood of the Land Rover. Great views to see.
