This turtle swimming experience was a holiday highlight for me and my 19 year old son. We were lucky to get Tex as a guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional- making sure we felt safe and comfortable in some quite rough water. His photography skills were second to none, and we got an airdrop of pics to enjoy as soon as we’d finished our tour, with edited ones to follow. We saw so many beautiful turtles both resting and swimming, and caught a glimpse of two huge ray. Feel like this experience is enjoyed most if you have a reasonable level of confidence swimming and diving - although Tex looked after us so well we still would have had an incredible time if we weren’t confident. Thank you Tex for making some magical memories.

Most magical experience

Sandy_F, Nov 2023

Omg, this tour was one of the highlights of my life. This experience of getting up and close to the majestic turtles and seeing the eagle rays gliding down below was nothing sort of magical. The guides did an amazing job of making sure everyone was safe and having a fulfilling experience and the photos are stuning. I wish I could have gone out everyday with you guys 🤩

Personal and beautiful

Not worth it your just a number

kirsty_f, Sep 2021

Not what u expected . Our tour was over booked ran late and so unorganised! It’s been over 6 weeks and still no photos I’ve been in contact and was told I’d get them 2 weeks ago but with so many people on our tour there probably arnt any photos not a good experience for something we were so excited about

Amazing 10/10. A must do when you visit Rarotonga.

Scott_G, Jul 2021

Charlotte is amazing and creates such a cool experience for you. This was our highlight of our holiday and can’t recommend it enough. We did the sunrise tour and it was a great way to start the day :)) the staff helping out were also very nice and funny. 10/10, highly recommended!
