Absolutely Amazing! - We did the Turtle Tour - it was amazing! Would highly recommend Snorkel Cook Islands to do this. We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather when we went out which made the day perfect. The team worked so well with the clients who were not confident, we were so impressed. We walked out and did a shallow water test to get confidence levels then they worked with people the entire time we were out, checking on them so no one was left out. We would definitely do this tour again and would recommend it to everyone we know. Thanks team for an amazing time!

Worth every cent - 15 of us - youngest 5 years old (paid extra to have a guide with him) then 8 kids ranging from 11 - 15 years. They were off doing it. Squeals of delight through the snorkels when seeing the Turtles, then the rays at the bottom. No problems with the kids. Enjoyed watching the kids dive down 10 - 15meters to check out the Turtles and Rays. Five year old who is every confident and can snorkel kept pushing the instructor away as he was so excited. You just float with the current, taking in all the vistas - absolutely mesmerising. A must do for anyone going to the Cooks. Cheap at $89 each for three hours of fun, excitement, laughter and memories. Thanks Guys you rock!

excellent tour - From the time we arrived all team members were great, making sure everyone was comfortable & confident. My 77yr old husband isn't as flexible now as he used to be, so the very shallow water swim was a bit difficult. T picked up on this & had my husband & another person place one hand on a rescue tube, and he looked after them. That meant none of the rest of us in our party had to worry about "Dad", as he was looked after. It was great to see the turtles & rays. The walk back was abit of a challenge, in the current, but there were enough staff to make sure everyone was ok walking back. The nu (coconut ) at the end was really nice. would def go with Snorkel Cooks Next time.

Excellent turtle swimming tour - Great experience. Clear instructions from guides and saw so many turtles and eagle rays. Just had to walk out to the passage and snorkel from there. So easy. Definitely recommend..

Wow so eciting - This 70+ year old was extremely impressed with how they helped me to see the turtles, nothing was too much. We also saw lots of beaked rays sitting on the sea floor. I would definitely recommend Snorkel Cook Islands

Brilliant Experience - What an absolute amazing experience, There was three of us that weren't confident snorkeling, but the team made us feel safe so we could see and experience the turtles. A great safety briefing before we started too. Just Brilliant.

Good experience - Great experience with fantastic staff who were very knowledgeable and kept everyone safe. Would have been awesome to have the photos they took shared with everyone or at least a heads up they wouldn't be sharing them with us. Take your own camera if you want to get some photos as they take heaps but don't share them.
