FAQ - Polynesian History & Cultural 4WD Island Tour
-
Although our trucks are covered you will be getting out of the truck a few times and having a little sunscreen is always a good idea. I would recommend SPF 50 sunscreen. It doesn’t go higher that that, if you see more it’s just a gimmick to get you to pay more!
-
Wear comfortable flip flops/slippers/tongs or shoes, please refrain from wearing anything with heels as when you get out of the truck to visit the sites the ground can be a bit uneven.
-
Definitely bring your camera, there will be many picture-taking opportunities along the way. It’s really hard to miss a shot in Bora Bora.
-
We have engineered our roads to be the safest on the island. Our tour is designed around safety first and our tour guides have been trained with that on their minds first!
-
I would advise you to bring a bit of money as we do make a stop at a Pareu (sarong) workshop. These Pareus are fairly inexpensive and a great hand made souvenir from Bora Bora.
-
Our trucks have a top and if necessary we do have side covers we pull down which are see-through.
-
We have taken many people that have bad backs and we make sure to be extra careful when someone with that condition is on board! Even having that person sitting next to the driver so that they are facing frontwards. We have designed our roads to be as easy as possible.
-
It really depends on the weather and road conditions. But in general, we have about 3 to 4 stops in the mountains and 2 or 3 around the main road.
-
The tour is about 3 hours long.
-
Depending on the seasons there will be more than other times. But I would recommend you bringing your own bug repellant, especially if your skin is extra sensitive to mosquito bites.
-
For all hotels, we do pick you up on the main island of Bora Bora. Each hotel has a specific pick up locations around the island.
-
We have guides that can speak English, Spanish, Italian, French and Japanese.

FAQ - Lagoon Snorkeling Tour with Sharks & Stingrays
-
Sunscreen is a very good idea as the sun in Bora Bora is deceivingly strong. You should lather up several times throughout the day. I would recommend SPF 50 sunscreen. It doesn’t go higher than that; if you see more, it’s just a gimmick to get you to pay more!

We do offer towels, but if you want to bring your own, feel free.
-
We will have snorkeling equipment available for use (mask and snorkel). If you wish to use fins, please grab some from your hotel’s activities center.
