One of 2 traditional outrigger canoes for transport.

     All tours run 6 days a week and are closed on Sundays. RAANUI TOURS WILL PICK YOU UP FROM YOUR HOTEL OR ANYWHERE ON THE ISLAND FREE OF CHARGE! The company owns 2 outrigger canoes ready for transport, which leave from Club Med. The regularly scheduled activities are described below, with custom tours available on special request. Choose the activity you're most interested in and send us an email to book the tour. It's easy!

SHARK and RAY FEEDING:
      The true specialty of Raanui Tours, this company was one of the first on Bora bora to popularize the fascinating activity of shark and ray feeding in the lagoon. Safe for all age groups, Raanui tours takes you out to the far end of the lagoon (near the reefs) by means of their outrigger canoe to discover and marvel at various species of sharks, rays, and other fish common to the waters. There you will be equipped with masks and snorkel, (no fins because they scare the sharks) and go overboard into the shallow waters where you will be instructed to grab an underwater rope attached to a bouy. (This keeps everyone in an easy to manage group for the best viewing possibilities.)      

Raanui Owners and guides are Bora Bora natives.

     Magnificent sharks, rays, and many other types of beautiful tropical fish will at once be all around you... but don't worry, they're not after you, they just want their daily lunch brought to them by your trusty hosts and guides! They'll have several large fish carcasses with them to tempt the animals - and they love it! (There are always at least 2 guides on all the tours) The average size sharks are 3-5 feet long and the stingrays no larger than 3 feet across. On a good day, there are up to 30 sharks and 20 rays feeding all at once, making for an exciting and interesting experience you will never forget!
     (Note on the safety issue for anyone scared of sharks: NO ONE has EVER been bitten or attacked on any of these tours, and their have literally been thousands. The sharks in the Bora bora lagoon are well fed and not interested in people when there is so much accessable food all around!)
     
    After the shark and ray feeding experience, the outrigger will take you to an excellent snorkeling spot of your guide's choosing to see more species of fish, wonderful coral, and the chance to feed the fish by hand if you wish with supplied bread.
Then, your canoed back to base where you can think about what you've just seen...

SNORKELING TOURS:
      If you were born and raised on the island of Bora bora, and you have a snorkeling business, chances are you know where the best snorkeling spots are on the island, and Raanui Tours fits that description perfectly. They are masters of lagoon snorkeling tours. Outrigger canoes will bring you to the famous "Coral Gardens" of Bora Bora, and other special areas, where you will casually snorkel among 5 different kinds of corals and see great numbers and varieties of colorful lagoon fish. (Note: These tours go to different snorkeling spots than the above described snorkeling locations after sharkfeeding- they emphasize snorkeling in particular, rather than the sharkfeeding.)

GREAT PICNICS:
      These snorkeling tours ALSO INCLUDE a casual stop over at a white sandy beach for a Motu Picnic. Roughly 30- 45 minutes of resting and eating on the motu is a wonderful experience. Local fruits and drinks are provided. (no alchohol). Of course, if you'd rather continue snorkeling, it's great off the coast of the motu as well!
