An excursion around atoll is really worth it due to breath-taking views and an opportunity to snorkel in the open sea. Manihi is just ideal for teaching kids this kind of water activity.

In addition, there are almost no waves in an inner lagoon and a small number of other tourists who spend their time on beaches, so you don’t have to worry that some divers or surfers can accidentally harm your kid.

Vacationers on the island of Bora Bora should definitely go with the children to visit the “Turtle Center”. It is located in a closed lagoon, where these reptiles, hawksbill and green turtles mostly on the verge of extinction, live in natural conditions and complete safety. These are turtles with injuries that are nursed with love and set free. There is also an incubator here for turtle eggs, aquariums with corals, a museum of local nature and a pool in which you can mingle with convalescent turtles and feed them. The center will be one of the best places for instilling in children, love of nature and learning to care for it.
