How Much Is a Bora Bora Lagoon Tour?
What a Bora Bora lagoon tour costs: short snorkel trips, half days, full days with lunch on a motu and private boats, what each price buys and the extras to pay.
A shared lagoon tour in Bora Bora runs from $107 a person for a 2.5-hour snorkel trip to $169 and more for a full day with lunch on a motu, and a private boat is priced per group, from $557 for up to 2 (checked November 2026). The full day carded first here, Rohivai Tours’ Bora Bora: Full day Lagoon Safari & Lunch on a Motu - ST, has the lunch, drinks, snorkelling gear and pickup by boat in its price.
The calendar above is the full-day lagoon safari, with 850 reviews (checked November 2026).
The short answer
Pay for the full day if you want lunch on a motu and the whole set of stops, rays and sharks, a coral garden and a manta site, in one trip: the lunch is in the price, and the gap to a 4-hour trip is the table below. Pay for a half day if you want the rays, sharks and coral without the long day. The cheapest trips are short and leave out food and drink. A private boat costs most and is priced for the boat, not per person.

What the full-day price buys
On Rohivai Tours’ full day, the price covers pickup and drop-off by boat, the use of snorkelling equipment, water, fruit juices and sodas, a towel and the lunch on the motu. The lunch is rice salad, grilled chicken, raw fish in coconut milk, seasonal fruit, coconut bread and cake; alcoholic drinks and snacks are not included. No surcharge is stated on top. The same Rohivai Tours day is from US$194 on Viator (checked November 2026) against $169 on GetYourGuide (checked November 2026): the same operator, two booking sites, two prices on the day they were read.
The extras some trips charge, or leave out
Read what each price leaves out before you compare it. Moana Adventure Tours' 2.5-hour safari includes snorkelling equipment only: food and drinks are not included, and sightings are not guaranteed. On Bora Bora Manu Lagoon Excursion's full day the lunch, water and juice are included, other drinks are on sale on the motu (Coca-Cola, Hinano beer, coffee, mango juice), and towels, sunscreen and alcohol are not included. Onoku Services' full day does not include pickup from hotels that are not on its list; its free pickup is at 9:00 am from the beach in front of Tiare Market. On H2O Bora Bora's trip there is no meal and no alcohol, and it is not suitable for people with back problems, mobility impairments, heart problems or pre-existing medical conditions, wheelchair users, or anyone over 130 kg (287 lb) or over 80. No fuel surcharge or fee to land on a motu is stated.

Private boats
A private boat is priced for the boat, so compare it per group, not per person. Ocean Tour Bora Bora's private lagoon trip is from $557 for a group of up to 2 (checked November 2026), for 3 or 6 hours with a local captain and an itinerary you set together; the 3-hour trip includes no food, and the 6-hour version adds a barbecue lunch on a motu. The from-price is likely the 3-hour trip without food, so check the option on the date you pick. Children under 4 go free. For a couple who want the boat to themselves it is the step up; for a family, the shared full day prices lunch on a motu per person.
