Shark & Ray Lagoon Safari and Motu TAPU- Half Day
Small family business native of the island, the Tepeva family will take you onboard one of its boats on exceptional preserved sites they discovered themselves, away from the bustle of the famous touristic spots. Ray, shark, octopus, lagoon fish, reef… it’s in a friendly atmosphere that the son or dad Tepeva will share its knowledge. To finish in style, discover one of the most beautiful motu of the Bora Bora, the mythical Motu Tapu, former residence of the queen and property prohibited to any person outside the court, hence its name of “tapu” (banned in Tahitian).
