Swim with turtles

5.00This was great. Mark informed everyone what was happening and what equipment { which was supplied if needed) would be required. This is a small group which they specialise in and there was a small team of guides. While snorkelling, they kept an eye on everyone and pointed out the turtles and other species, This was all photographed and videoed which you received a copy of.
A thrilling once in a lifetime experience

5.00Ocean Toa exceeded my expectations in every way possible. I am a 76 yr old Aussie woman. I felt in very safe hands with Mark, Louisa and their team. There was one lifeguard per two people. I was lucky enough to have a strong young man named Regan with me throughout. What a thrill it was when a huge turtle known as "Big Mama" surfaced right beside me. Of course, we saw other smaller Turtles as well. I plan on going with Ocean Toa again next year for a."Twice in a Lifetime" experience.
Don't miss this once in a lifetime experience with Ocean Toa.

5.00I was thrilled with my experience. Mark, Louisa and their team are wonderful. I am a 76 year old Aussie. I had lifeguard Regan with me throughout and I felt very safe with him. We were a group of 10 with 5 lifeguards. I will always remember this experience but I hope to go again next year with Ocean Toa. A huge turtle known as "Big Mama" surfaced right beside me. I have had many adventures during my lifetime but this one tops my list.
Turtles make it “On Your to do list!!!”

5.00Appreciated to delay the tour for an hour to experience the best possible due to wind and getting a low tide. As we were unable to rebook. Staff fantastic. Appreciated Teddy rounding up my husband as he was off finding his own turtles to watch. Just a special experience to remember Rarotonga.
Great menue, service and a beautiful spot!

5.00Incredible experience for our family. Our party of 5 (mum, granny, and 3 kids) was incredibly well catered for. Our tour was only us, with 3 guides. This meant our 4 and 6 year olds were able to join the full experience. We received wonderful photos and they answered the kids many questions. (Note they are age 5+ but our 4yr old is a confident swimmer and has been snorkelling since age 3)
Safe and exhilirating!

5.00This experience was brilliant! There were just the five of us in our family on the tour, with three guides so we felt super safe and could really enjoy the experience. The guides Louisa, Mark, and Jo, really made the trip enjoyable. It was a once in a life time experience!
