Jet Ski · FRENCH POLYNESIA JET SKI TOURS
Inside the reef the water is flat, shallow and absurdly clear, so the rides here are long circuits rather than short blasts. These 15 cover Bora Bora, Moorea and Tahiti, with ride times and whether you get a machine to yourself.
Ride solo or with a passenger across Moorea’s lagoon with guides such as Fred, Stanley, or Tini. Visit Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay, stop near Motu Tiahura to snorkel with stingrays and black-tip sharks, and watch for turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whales.
“Super expérience, the guide is very friendly, I recommend this tour for visiting the sharks and rays !”
Spend about 6.5 hours on Bora Bora’s lagoon with Moana Adventure Tours. Ride a single or double jet ski past Mt. Otemanu, stop on a motu for swimming and coconut lessons, eat lunch at Lucky House, then snorkel with black-tip reef sharks, stingrays, fish, and coral. Guides such as Tema, Ali, Marama, and Tarepa are praised for friendly help.
“Awesome day out! Jet Ski tour around Bora Bora was pure joy, and snorkeling with sharks got the adrenaline going. Loved exploring the Coral Garden—so much to see under the water. Would do it again!”
Spend six hours exploring Bora Bora by ATV and jet ski, with native guides such as Manu, Tahi, H, or Tama. Ride three off-road trails, visit WWII cannons, circle the lagoon, stop at a motu, and eat grilled fish, chicken, raw fish, and local dishes.
“There is a little storage box on the back of the ATV for smaller personal items. The guide carries water on the ATV. Bring your sunscreen and bug spray might be useful for the ATV portion. They also have little ponchos in case of a downpour. The jetskis also have a small compartment for personal items to stay dry. The water was a little rough in some places but it was manageable for us who had never done this before. Bring cheap sunglasses in case you lose them on the jetskis. Bring a towel to dry off after. So much fun and would definitely recommend this adventure!”

“The pickup was 1 hour late and we had to call from the tourism center to make sure they were coming. However, the jet skis were great and we had a wonderful guide, who took great care of us. We have done this before and we really love it. Make sure to confirm in advance to ensure that you don't have any confusion about pickup. Great tour and wonderful guide!”

“We absolutely loved this tour! We did it on two separate days which I would recommend. We had Fred as our atv guide and he was very helpful and knowledgeable and also a lot of fun to work with. We saw so many incredible views on the interior of the island. Day 2 we did the jet ski tour with Max and we had an absolute blast! Max showed us a lot of very cool spots and even made sure we got to see the turtles even though the current was pretty strong. This was our favorite half of the tour although both were wonderful and definitely worth what we…”
