Magical Day in Bora Bora’s Lagoon on a Solar Catamaran - We spent four hours with Parataito Explorer, and it was unforgettable. The solar-powered boat is silent, clean, and free of fumes—such a peaceful way to experience the lagoon. With fresh fruit, drinks, and Jeff’s wife’s delicious banana bread, every detail felt thoughtful. Having it just for the two of us made it even more special. Parataito Explorer is Jeff and his wife’s business, built around this beautiful solar catamaran. Jeff, born and raised on Bora Bora, shared amazing stories about the island and lagoon. He was attentive and caring—I swim in the ocean just once a year and was nervous being close to the coral; he guided me calmly and kept an eye on both of us in the water. That kind of care is rare and made all the difference. This was our fourth trip to Bora Bora, and this excursion has become something we’ll do every time. Next visit, we’re booking the 6-hour trip. Truly exceptional.

Excellent private tour - 100% recommend! - Excellent private tour with my young family. We saw fish, rays, and black tipped reef sharks! The scenery is stunning and our favourite stop was the sharks. The guide was very nice and accommodating with our young kids. The boat is perfect for our group of 6 and would 100% recommend! Thanks also for the home-grown pineapple and tasty snacks. Māuruuru!

Highly recommend, peaceful serene experience - This was an amazing experience. Jeff, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable spoke great English and was a great host overall. The beauty of using the Solar boat to tour around the island or Lagoon is how quiet it is and how peaceful the whole experience is. Jeff knew all the most amazing spots to go, I had a very intimate snorkeling experience swimming with black tip sharks and stingrays, got to see one of the most beautiful reefs like something you’d see out of National Geographic documentaries… While snorkeling thanks to Jeff. Honoring Bora Bora‘s beautiful Lagoon on a quiet solar power boat is the way to go, versus loud engines and exhaust etc.… Hands-down the best experience I’ve had on a boat in Bora (and this is my fourth visit to Bora Bora)

Solar powered private boat experience in bora bora was terrific! - This was ann amazing private boat tour for our family of five start to finish and we have done a few. The boat was solar powered and island speed cruising. Jeff was a terrific guide / super knowledgeable and attentive. We saw manta rays, stingrays, sharks and eagle rays along with beautiful fish in the coral garden. Tipped off by delicious home made banana bread and drinks. I cannot recommend this tour more. Relatively new, eco friendly sky and Tahitian owned. Will absolutely do it again and again!

The best, intimate snorkel tour! - This was a fantastic tour! I HIGHLY recommend doing this tour over a shared boat tour. Jeff was an amazing guide and took us to four different locations. He was awesome with my kids, helping my younger one snorkel and taking pictures for us. The boat is so great too because it’s quiet. 10/10 recommend!

This was the best private... - This was the best private excursion! We were able to snorkel at the coral gardens, swim with rays and sharks, and have a peaceful and relaxing boat ride! We were visiting Bora Bora by cruise ship and this excursion fit perfectly into our day. We were picked up and dropped off at the cruise ship pier. Communication was excellent and so was our guide. The boat is slower and very quiet. So enjoyable!

Beautiful tour of the lagoon - Very nice excursion with a local guide who loves to share lots of information about bora bora and Polynesian culture. The solar catamaran is an ideal and ecological solution to enjoy the beautiful lagoon. If we return we will do this excursion again without hesitation! Mauruuru!

Wonderful intimate adventure in Bora Bora - We visited Bora Bora via a cruise ship and decided we wanted to do something as a family away from the crowds. The Electric Boat was exactly what we wanted and then some! Jeff was our guide and asked us what we would like to see (fish, sharks & rays) and do (snorkel). The boat slowly glides around the island and it is so quiet we snuck up on sea turtles & rays several times. The highlight of our snorkeling was seeing a moral eel emerge from its hiding place and swim right past us. Amazing! And he also took us to a spot where you can stand in waist deep water while surrounded by black tip reef sharks. Also Amazing! This is a must do if you would like to combine a quiet, stress free boat ride with amazing snorkeling.

Amazing Experience! - We had an amazing time. Jeff was a great guide. He took us snorkeling to the coral garden, and with sting rays, manta rays and sharks. He even went snorkeling with us at the coral garden and pointed out different fishes, eels, etc. We loved the boat. It was quiet and very comfortable, and although slower than gas boats, it allowed us to really enjoy the water and see different fishes. We never felt rushed and Jeff allowed us to spend as much time as we need at every location. The banana bread baked by his wife was amazing. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour.

Magical experience - We had an absolutely magical time on board! The guide was professional, passionate and very friendly, which made the excursion even more enjoyable. On the program: manta rays, leopard rays, blacktip sharks... A real immersion in the heart of marine life! And what about the coral garden: an explosion of colors, hundreds of fish, in crystal-clear water... We felt like paradise. Thank you for this amazing experience, recommend with your eyes closed!
