Great guides for a wonderful experience - The team on this snorkel tour were kind and helpful. They were very clear about where to go and what to look out for in this rather challenging stretch of water. And as a result of their guidance, we saw a number of turtle close up, an amazing collection of rays and lot’s of other pretty coral fish along the way. A great couple of hours.

Beautiful memories - A wonderful experience for our small family. Our guides were attentive, caring and fun! They were very professional and clearly loved sharing their unique natural environment with us. We felt like we were in very safe and capable hands and got to see an epic amount of sea life including turtles and eagle rays. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience with Rarotonga Turtle Tours - A great experience with the team who made us feel really comfortable and safe. The briefing was in-depth and covered everything we were to expect. We managed to see plenty of turtles and even eagle rays.

Don't hesitate, just book it. - I was nervous but made to feel (and was) very safe at all times. My more confident husband was free to enjoy the experience without worrying about me. Already booked for this year again.

Reservations - The crew were friendly and helpful and confident with managing the group in the water. However, we have some reservations about safety and we are unsure about the impact of the trip on the turtles. We felt that the resources (gear and crew) were focused on a few people in our group who were not very confident with snorkelling. Leaving the turtle area and walking to the beach seemed quite precarious and many people were struggling (against the strong current of the passage). We noticed another company using other approaches which looked easier and safer. We were concerned about the number of snorkelers on the surface from all the groups operating and possible impact on the turtles… This tour is the only one ‘free to move’ - which was great on one hand but felt a bit chaotic at times. We think it could have been guided a bit better. We would have loved to have learned about the turtles. We met another tour operator afterwards who gave us some info which was interesting. Don't usually post reviews but after having no response from the operator to our feedback, decided to post this.

Environmentally irresponsible - Seeing the turtles was great until we exited the water by walking over the reef. 15 of us walked over precious coral which was irresponsible and upsetting. You need an alternative exit strategy. Coral takes years to grow and for the whole tour to just walk over it was crazy. I wouldn’t use this company again.

SNORKELING WITH TURTLES - I enjoyed the experience but I was very disappointed that the company did not take any photos of my experience. Not every person has an underwater camera to capture this. I know that other companies take a large amount of photos to be purchased after the session had ended and therefore I would have preferred to have used another company, had I known there would be no record for me to keep.
