Turtle Sea Scooter Safari

Swim with the turtles and discover a new way to explore Rarotonga’s marine environments with our experienced team, snorkeling with an Ariki Sea Scooter!

Swimming with the turtles is an incredible experience that we love to share! Our Turtle Safari begins on the sandy shores of Rarotonga as we fit each guest with mask, snorkel and fins before beginning our briefings for snorkeling, scootering and entering the environment safely. From here we do a short test in shallow water to ensure everyone is feeling confident with their Scooter before following our guides into the deeper waters which our turtles call home. We often see Eagle Rays, Moray Eels, tropical fish and the occasion beautiful (and not dangerous!) Reef Shark as well as the amazing turtles in this area.

This tour is suitable for ages 12+, with a intermediate swim skill level required. Previous snorkel experience is required. 

Life jackets and wetsuits are available if required, however guests must advise when booking if they have any concerns about swim ability.

Guests with physical disabilities or limitations are welcome to enquire directly as we can customize tours and provide additional support with advance notice.
