This private tour is designed for those who value comfort, flexibility, and a more personalized ocean experience.

With a dedicated guide for your group, you’ll receive one-on-one support in the water, making it ideal for beginners, families, or anyone who prefers a more relaxed pace. Without the presence of a larger group, you’ll have more space, more time, and a more natural interaction with marine life.

We follow a minimal-impact, eco-friendly approach, allowing you to experience Rarotonga’s reef environment in a way that respects and protects it. By avoiding motorized assistance, the experience remains quiet, safe, and more immersive.

Since 2018, we have maintained a 100% safety record, with guides who carefully assess conditions each day to ensure the best possible experience for your group.

What to expect

Enjoy a more personal way to experience Rarotonga’s marine life with your own private turtle snorkeling tour.

This exclusive experience takes you to Avaavaroa Passage, one of Rarotonga’s most renowned snorkeling locations, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim alongside wild sea turtles, rays, and vibrant tropical fish in crystal-clear lagoon waters.

With a dedicated guide focused entirely on your group, you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace—without the pressure or distractions of a larger tour. Whether you prefer a relaxed introduction to snorkeling or a more immersive experience, your guide will tailor the pace to your comfort level while ensuring your safety at all times.

Our approach remains eco-friendly and minimal-impact, allowing you to enjoy the reef responsibly while preserving its natural beauty.

Photos are taken during the tour so you can relive your experience, while your guide remains fully focused on your safety.

Tour times vary daily to ensure the safest and best conditions for your experience.
