A jet ski tour in Bora Bora puts you on the lagoon at speed, with the turquoise water, the reef, and Mount Otemanu all around you. Most tours run two hours, with stops at a private motu and time to take in the views before heading back. It is one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the lagoon, and one of the fastest ways to cover a lot of it in a short time.

Bora Bora jet ski tours, 2026
Open water, turquoise lagoon, and Otemanu on the horizon. Jet ski tours in Bora Bora run as standalone rides or as part of a full-day combo with a 4WD or ATV circuit and a motu lunch.
Riding the Bora Bora lagoon in a small group, with the reef and Otemanu as the backdrop
The Bora Bora lagoon is one of the most spectacular places in the world to ride a jet ski. The water is protected by the outer reef, which keeps it calm and flat even when the ocean beyond is rougher. The colour is extraordinary at speed: deep turquoise in the channels, pale blue over the sandy shallows, and green where the coral gardens rise close to the surface.
Tours are guided in small groups, with your captain leading the route and setting the pace. Most circuits include a stop at a private motu, where you can swim, rest, and take in the view before heading back across the lagoon. No prior experience is needed. You follow the guide, and the lagoon does the rest.
The ATV and jet ski combo: island interior in the morning, lagoon in the afternoon
For travelers with limited time in Bora Bora, a jet ski combo tour is the most efficient way to experience both the island and the lagoon in a single day. The jet ski segment covers the water. A 4WD or ATV circuit covers the island interior, with WWII cannon sites, panoramic viewpoints, and jungle tracks that are not accessible by road. A motu or restaurant lunch ties the two halves together.
Two combo formats are available. The Bora Bora 4×4 and Jet Ski Combo Tour pairs a jeep circuit of the island with a jet ski lagoon ride and lunch. The Bora Bora ATV and Jet Ski Combo Tour replaces the 4WD with an off-road ATV ride for a more active land experience. Both include hotel pickup and run as full-day excursions. Browse all options under combo tours for current availability and pricing.
