(Owen) Good morning! Thank you very much for checking out this episode of Gallivant
with Us. (Maya) On this episode Gallivant with Us as we rent a pontoon to cruise the
lagoon of Bora Bora. We get to swim with friendly sharks, stingrays and tons of
fish, while basking in the sun in these crystal-clear lagoons.

Man, Matira Beach. We're over here at the Intercontinental about to get the boat so we can
head out around the island today and catch some of the lagoon.
(Maya) La Plage Tours offers outdoor activities, boat tours, watersports and boat rentals.
Their boats range from 13 feet to just over 30 feet and you can rent them for between 4 to 8
hours at affordable rates.
(Owen) Got that GoPro accessories, got the fins, the goggles, backpack.
There's Maya.
Boom! We're loaded down.
Got all the camera gear, some extra food, fruits, water.
We're ready to....execute this mission.
(Owen) What you think Maya? Woooow!
[Ukulele playing]
(Maya) We're over here on our pontoon!
How's it?
Sick! On the pontoon, crusin the lagoon!
[Ukulele playing]
This is definitely the life.
That must be the bay over there for coral gardens.

(Owen) The black tip reef sharks swimming around the lagoon are small and timid.
These are the Sharks most frequently seen in Bora Bora lagoon
as they prefer shallow water. You may think we are completely
out of our minds for swimming with sharks and stingrays but this definitely
turned out to be an amazing experience and actually the highlight of the entire trip.
(Maya) The stingrays in Bora Bora feel soft and slippery to the touch. These
amazing beings have the easygoing energy like a curious puppy dog . You will
quickly become their best friend after giving them a treat or two. We also saw
the manta rays and eagle rays.
So this is the current situation.
Over here in Bora Bora on the pontoon.
All I gotta say is.... this is unbelievable.
The color of this water.
The lagoons, all these scenic islands...
This is crazy!
I'm just in pure amazement!
(Owen) There's Maya in the water snorkeling by herself,
fully in love!
Look at those mountains is this crazy or is this crazy

(Maya) Bora Bora is without a doubt among the world's most beautiful places.
Being surrounded by thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean, it's a favorite honeymoon
spot and a popular retreat for celebrities. With its vibrant reefs, translucent
waters, pristine beaches, warm hospitality, and rich culture this stunning beauty has
understandably drawn the biggest names in luxury resorts such as the Four
Seasons, Conrad, Intercontinental, St. Regis, Le meridian and so on.

Checking out all the different colors of blues out here.
The sky is actually a darker blue than the ocean. I think that's the firs time I've ever seen that.
[Upbeat reggae music playing]
Wooo! Over here at the ......Intercontinental Le Moana.
(Maya) If you're coming to Bora Bora, we highly recommend checking out La Plage Tours

day that we will always remember. Link to La Plage Tours in the description below.
