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!

Well done! - We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Jeff took us to snorkel with manta rays, sharks. Sting rays and to the coral gardens. Tasty bananna bread that his wife made added a personal touch. The electric boat was quieter than gas engines although slower, so range is less but still fine. Catamaran hull rode smooth. Well done and an ecological way to snorkel.

Amazing! - Our guide Jeff was amazing! He was knowledgeable, informative, funny and kind. He taught us a lot about the history of French Polynesia and Bora Bora. The snorkelling spot was amazing, very calm, lots of fish and corals, super cool. He had all the equipment we needed and guided us in the water. We also say some sharks and rays in the water while cruising, he prepared fresh fruit, juice and even beer for us as well. The boat was really cool, quiet, modern and comfortable. You can even drive it. Overall, super fun experience and very worth the price, highly recommended!

Exceeded expectations 👍👍 - Our tour with Jeff was amazing. The boat was perfect and very relaxing. We enjoyed the full cover as it was a long day and we enjoyed the shade. Also loved the quietness of the electric motor. He knew exactly where to go for tropical fish, Rays and sharks. Exceeded all expectations.

Don't hesitate, book now! - We booked this as a last minute, last day activity before we left Bora Bora. SO GLAD WE DID!!! There are many tours you can select that are great - spend the day with wonderful guides and become friends with a new groups of friends on the boat. But to have a quiet, relaxing, private tour as a couple is both unique and preferred. We checked out the Manta Ray cleaning area (none around - weren't yesterday either while I was scuba diving there), and were all alone in the South area of the lagoon swimming with schools of eagle rays, sting rays, and Black Tip Reef sharks. The boat isn't the fastest out there, but is plenty quick for touring the lagoon and really feels more like a sail (which we loved). If you value you exclusivity, privacy, and peace and quiet look no further - Jeff knows his stuff, is local, and provides a wonderfully personalized experience. Enjoy!
