Know before you book

    • Public transport options are available nearby
    • Not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health
    • Travellers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
    • Ages 12 to 65 is a guide, not a strict rule: what matters most is being a confident swimmer in good health. If you're outside this range, you're welcome to message us about your fitness and swimming ability. Pool noodles are available for extra flotation (we use these instead of life jackets, which can be too buoyant in the wind).
    • We can adapt the pace to suit your group.

Activity itinerary

Snorkel Avaavaroa Passage, Rarotonga's last real-life aquarium, with only your group in the water. Your guide tows you out to the channel on a paddleboard. In the channel you see clear water, living coral and many reef fish. Green turtles come here to feed and rest, and sightings are highly likely. Because the tour is private, you set the pace. You can stay longer with a turtle, explore further, or go slowly if someone is a less confident swimmer. Your guide is a lifeguard, surfer or fisherman with beach experience in Australia and New Zealand. Your own photographer swims with you, and your photos are delivered within 48 hours. There are no boats on this tour.
