5 Amazing Shore Excursions on Windstar’s Dreams of Tahiti Cruise

The two-hour Deluxe Lagoon Tour offers access to some of the best scenery in Bora Bora, and you’ll also have plenty of time to swim, snorkel and relax in the water. After boarding a Bayliner deck boat with a small group of guests, you’ll cruise around stunning lagoons on the west side of the island. You’ll spot all kinds of marine wildlife in the crystal-clear water, and the views of Mount Otemanu are equally impressive. You’ll have a chance to snorkel in a pristine coral reef teeming with all kinds of tropical fish, and afterward you will head to a shallow lagoon and enjoy refreshments right off the back of the boat. This excursion is perfect for guests who want to maximize their time in Tahiti’s warm, inviting water while moving at a leisurely pace.

As an alternative, consider booking the Sunset Dream Tour, which is slightly shorter than the lagoon tour, but offers many of the same highlights. While there is no swimming or snorkeling, you will glide through shallow lagoons on a small motorboat with just half a dozen other guests. You’ll see wildlife like rays and sharks, and once the sun starts to dip below the horizon, sip on champagne as you watch the sky turn gold and pink.
