Moana Adventure Tours · Hotel or Vaitape pier
A two-hour guided loop of the Bora Bora lagoon with Moana Adventure Tours, with pickup, two swim stops and a coconut demonstration on a motu. Pick it if you want the classic jet ski tour, solo or double, and a price set per person.
This is the classic Bora Bora jet ski tour. A driver collects you from your hotel or the Vaitape pier, and after a short car ride you get a safety briefing and a fitted life jacket. Then you follow your guide in a short line of jet skis around the lagoon: past the overwater bungalows, the moored yachts and sailboats, and under the green slopes of Mount Otemanu. The guide points out landmarks on the way and talks about Polynesian life.
You do not need a boat licence. Renting a jet ski on your own in French Polynesia needs a coastal licence, but the maritime authority allows a guided convoy with an approved guide on a set route, and that is how this tour runs. You stay behind the guide, you do not pick your own line, and the guide sets the pace. Near the shore, pontoons and swimmers, expect to go slowly.
Two things to know before you book. The two hours include two swim stops, one of them on a motu with a coconut husking demonstration, so your time on the throttle is less than two hours. And you choose solo or double at booking: drivers must be 16 and passengers 11. The listing includes "food and drinks" but does not say what. Think of it as a snack on the motu, not a meal.
A driver collects you from your hotel or the Vaitape pier. The car ride to the jet skis takes about 15 minutes, says the listing.
A safety briefing from the guide, then your life jacket is fitted. The maritime authority requires a life jacket with a light and a kill switch on every rented jet ski.
You follow the guide in a line around the lagoon, past the overwater bungalows, the yachts and the slopes of Mount Otemanu. The route runs inside the lagoon.
The guide stops in shallow water so you can jump in and cool off. Leave the jet ski where the guide tells you.
A stop on a small islet, where the guide shows you how to husk a green coconut.
The loop finishes where it began and the car takes you back to your hotel or the pier.
