Moana Adventure Tours · Mainland hotels or cruise port

Open 4x4 lookouts, then the lagoon

A six-hour day with Moana Adventure Tours: an open-sided 4x4 on the mountain roads to three lookouts and a plantation, lunch, then the two-hour jet ski loop. Pick it if you want to see the island from the hills without driving there yourself.

4x4 Island Tour and Jet Ski Day with Lunch

About this experience

The morning is an open-sided 4x4 on the island's mountain roads. The listing names three lookouts: Amanahune Bay, Faanui and East Matira. The hill roads date back to the Second World War, when American forces built roads and quays on the island. A stop at a plantation shows you pareo tie-dye and coconut oil, with tropical fruit to taste. The listing describes a scenic drive with a guide, so plan on riding along rather than driving.

After lunch at a restaurant on the main island (the listing names Bloody Mary's, and the venue can change), you get the two-hour jet ski tour of the bays. It follows the same format as Moana's classic loop: a guided convoy, views of Mount Otemanu, a coconut husking demonstration and a swim stop. Drivers must be 16 and passengers 11.

Some details are loose. The order can change: one guest started with the jet ski and finished with the jeep. The page names two lunch restaurants in different places. It lists a shuttle boat from the motus as included, but also says motu guests arrange the hotel boat through the concierge, so ask your hotel. The listing does not say who it is unsuitable for, but the 4x4 roads are rough: think twice with back problems or in pregnancy.

Tips before you book

  • Bring a hat and sunscreen. An open 4x4 has little shade.
  • Hold on to phones and sunglasses on the hill roads, and bring a strap for the jet ski.
  • Staying on a motu? Ask the concierge about the hotel boat as soon as you book.
  • Want to know what you are looking at from the lookouts? Read our guide to things to do in Bora Bora first.
