Sunscreens containing chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate are harmful to coral reefs and marine life. To protect Bora Bora’s delicate ecosystem, please avoid using these products. Instead, opt for mineral sunscreens with active ingredients like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. These ingredients offer broad-spectrum sun protection while being safe for the environment.   Thank you for doing your part to keep the reefs safe on Bora Bora.

The lagoon of Bora Bora is a stunning natural wonder, teeming with vibrant marine life. To help preserve this delicate environment and ensure your safety, we kindly ask you to keep these guidelines in mind:

  • Be Mindful of Wildlife: Admire the colorful fish from a distance. Some species, while beautiful, may have spines or defenses that can cause discomfort if touched. It’s best to look, not touch!
  • Respect the Fire Coral: Fire coral, despite its name, is not actually a true coral. It has a powerful sting that can cause irritation, so please avoid contact.
  • Leave Treasures Where They Belong: The ocean is home to beautiful shells, coral, and other natural wonders. Please leave them in their natural habitat for others to enjoy. Not only is it important for the ecosystem, but transporting these items can result in hefty fines from customs.
  • Protect the Reef: Coral reefs are fragile ecosystems. Please avoid stepping on or touching the coral, as this can cause damage.

By following these simple practices, you’ll help protect Bora Bora’s unique environment and ensure a safe and enjoyable lagoon tour for yourself and future visitors. Thank you for being an eco-conscious traveler!
