What makes the Lagoonarium different from other Lagoonariums in the island? It is that visitors can swim together with the marine animals. While it is already fun to just do sightseeing, it becomes way more exciting and adventurous coming up close and personal with these animals.

How to Get There

Most tours on the island will include the Lagoonarium in their itinerary. Guests will be provided with snorkeling gears so they can begin interacting with the sea animals.

If you want to make the most out of your visit at the Lagoonarium, you can opt to book for a full day tour.

Once you have decided to include the Lagoonarium in your itinerary, you must book at the reservation office. Do that as early as possible to ensure availability of the tour company. Hotel pickup and drop off together with the rent of the snorkeling equipment are usually inclusive in the tour packages.

Highlight Activities

Even if you do not have any experience in scuba diving, you will still have the opportunity to interact with the animals. There are plenty of professional and well-trained guides in the area. Some will go with you and teach you how to socialize with the animals in the best and safest way.

Shark and ray feeding exhibition is one activity that the guides will show the guests. The guides are already very knowledgeable about the behavior of the animals. They will show guests how they do their day by day feeding.

This particular activity requires specific knowledge and high expertise and is a very rare event. So you must include it in your itinerary and not miss it.

More Activities to Enjoy in Bora Bora
