1. Snorkel in Coral Gardens

Bora Bora’s Coral Gardens are a must-visit for families. The shallow, crystal-clear waters are filled with colorful fish, making it the perfect introduction to snorkeling for kids and beginners. It’s calm, beautiful, and feels like swimming inside a real-life aquarium.

 Tip: After a day exploring the reef, wind down with a Leilani story about a coral castle and friendly fish.

2. Take a Lagoon Cruise

A lagoon cruise around Bora Bora offers stunning views of Mount Otemanu, floating bungalows, and bright blue waters. Many tours include glass-bottom boats so kids can see marine life without even getting wet!

 Perfect background for relaxing to a soft bedtime story as the day winds down.

3. Visit the Bora Bora Turtle Sanctuary

The turtle sanctuary at Le Meridien Resort is a gentle and educational activity for families. Kids can learn about turtle rescue efforts and even see baby turtles in rehabilitation. It's a special place that brings nature and kindness together.

 One of Leilani’s most popular audio stories features a lost baby turtle finding its way home!

4. Enjoy a Beach Picnic on a Private Motu

Take a boat to a nearby motu (tiny island) for a private picnic. Some tours include Polynesian music, fresh coconut, and traditional meals. The scenery is peaceful, making it ideal for families who want to relax in nature.

 It’s the kind of setting that inspired many of our calming audio tales for kids.

5. Paddleboard at Sunset

If you want a gentle, relaxing activity, try paddleboarding at sunset. The water is calm, the air is cool, and the views are breathtaking. Even older kids can join in, and the stillness of the moment creates the perfect memory.

After sunset, cuddle up with your child and listen to one of Leilani’s magical bedtime adventures.

6. Explore Local Crafts in Vaitape

Vaitape is Bora Bora’s main town, and it’s a great place to pick up locally-made souvenirs—shell jewelry, handwoven bags, or even a storybook in Tahitian. Kids will enjoy choosing a keepsake, while parents can explore the island’s cultural vibe.

Local stories and crafts often inspire the characters and settings in Leilani Stories.

7. Stargazing on the Beach

End your day with simple stargazing. Bora Bora’s night sky is incredibly clear, making it a perfect spot to lie back on the sand and look up. Talk about constellations, make wishes, or just enjoy the quiet. It’s the perfect way to calm your child before sleep.

Leilani Stories were created with these kinds of peaceful, dreamy moments in mind—perfect for helping kids drift off calmly and happily.
