Everyone chasing the poor nurse shark around trying for a ride was really sad. However all the people working here were great.

I enjoyed the Lagoonarium, but if you've already fed the sharks and rays you probably don't need to go here as well.

We visited the lagoonarium as a shore excursion from a cruise ship. The lagoonarium was well stocked with sharks, rays and a whole host of fish. The rays in particular seemed to enjoy being around people. They would brush up against us, and at one point, I actually stood on one! The guides were in no hurry to get rid... More

The guide will show you so many different species of fish and corals even the "Nemo" fish hiding in the anemonnae, and you also can hear them munching their food! I just couldn't believe it! Snorkeling in this lagonarium is an experience you just can' t miss!

Joseph is a really fun guide that will try to involve everybody on the boat to have a great day. He will care, make inapropriate jokes, sing and play and you will enjoy the day and have fun seeing sharks, moreys, rays, turtles and everything else the ocean has to offer. And the lunch was pretty good too!

If you wish to do some wonderful snorkeling and swim with sharks and rays then try this. Guides were great and very knowledge of the fish, the waters and the islands. Did a half day trip which was enough for me since I had spent 10 days on a sailboat and had done lots of snorkeling around the islands. The... More

Loved this trip, Max and Bob were hilarious, swimming with the sharks and rays were awesome. My husband was more brave than me and even held a stingray, and rode the nurse shark. We had an underwater camera each which I highly recommend. Well worth it, if you only do one excusion in Bora Bora do this one!
