We will be on the Paul Gaugion and have a one day stop in Bora Bora. We are taking a morning tour with the ship but have the afternoon free and would like to snorkel. Any suggestions as to where the best snorkeling in the lagoon would be? If it is at a hotel, will they allow non-guests?

Go to Beach Club Bora Bora, then hire a water taxi to take you across the lagoon to Motu Piti Aau. Have them let you off at Fareone Point. Walk along the edge of the motu, along a shallow pass, called, "The Coral Garden". Jump in at the seaward side, Tupitipi Point, then float through the 'garden' until you are back at Fareone Point.

Thanks, Alf.

Is this "do-able" for a half day? Any idea how much it will cost to get to the Beach Club by taxi and the motu by water taxi?

You could do it in a couple of hours. My recollection was that we were dropped of at around 10am and we brought lunch with us - we probably got picked up around 2pm, but you could easily do it in less time if you wish.

Here is a link to the water taxi we used, including rates:

We actually rented a car while we were on Bora Bora, because we wanted to explore the interior - so we never took any taxis, except for one Le Truck trip to and from the airport boat.
