From Ridge Tracks to Coral Gardens: Bora‑Bora’s Combo QUAD & Eco Safari Raies et Requins.
This Combo QUAD & Safari Raies et Requins in Bora‑Bora pairs a guided off‑road run across the island’s lush interior with an ethical lagoon safari among rays, reef sharks and colorful coral gardens. The program stitches together a landward ascent for sweeping lagoon views with a marine outing aboard a 27‑ft Aito, all organized as group tours with hotel transfers and an included midday meal.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Summit Vistas over the Lagon
During the guided quad segment you climb to an accessible summit — including the mount Popoti viewpoint — where the lagoon’s shifting turquoise and deep‑blue tones unfold beneath you, punctuated by several picturesque stops along the trail.
Respectful Encounters with Rays, Sharks and Coral
Onboard a 27‑ft Aito, the eco‑safari visits prime lagoon sites to observe grey rays, reef sharks and a vibrant coral garden while following a strict no‑feeding, coral‑protection approach to minimize disturbance.
Guided Quad Trails in Small Groups
The quad tour is a small‑group experience (maximum four quads per guide) that includes a pre‑ride briefing on quad functions and 2.5 hours of riding through Bora‑Bora’s vegetation and coastal lookout points.
