Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense part of the 4x4 excursion?
The off-road sections across Bora Bora's volcanic interior, where the terrain gets steep and uneven. Expect sharp inclines and rough tracks that give you a real feel of the island's rugged core, far from the beach-resort version of Bora Bora.

How long does the excursion last?
Durations range from a focused history tour to a full half-day exploration. Plan your schedule based on whether you want a quick cultural blast or a longer island safari.
What languages does the guide speak?
Guides for the half-day safari by Bora Bora Tupuna Safari speak French, English and Spanish. You won't need to prepare questions in advance.
