Had a great time with Moana sea scooters. Felt very safe and our group of 6 people had 2 experienced guys with us at all times. Fantastic photos air dropped to us at the end of the tour.

The best experience! The team and service was kind and caring, and we arrived a little late. From the safety kōrero to the action, it was all really cool! And bonus no extra $$ for the photos!! Awesome and affordable activity.

Simply amazing. Words cannot express how we felt after this tour. Right from the start our guide Rihanna made us feel welcome as well as the lifeguard T. The fact we were in their environment with marine life abundant, but the main attraction the turtles did not disappoint. We lost count of how many we saw, and the fact that they also swam up and checked us out was so cool. We would highly recommend this tp everyone.

I've always wanted to swim with turtles, and the opportunity arrived when we decided to go to the Cook Islands. The tour was great. We were given instructions on how to use the sea scooters, hand signals, and safety talk before we even entered the water. The guys were great. Always on the lookout for you and taking photos. I had about 80 photos and videos uploaded to my phone straight after the tour. Unfortunately, on the day we went, it was windy, so above the water it was quite rough, but below the surface, it was fine. The wind did affect the clarity of the water also, but I'm very pleased with the end result of the photos and my experience with turtles. After we got back to the beach, they served a platter of fruit and water was available. I have no hesitation in recommending Moana Sea Scooters for swimming with turtles.

An absolute bucket list tour. There were 6 of us and 3 guides, safety was their number one focus as well as ensuring we all respected the turtles. They took such good care of us and were a great laugh. Even though we had some good currents and were swimming in a 25m deep passage, never once were we uncomfortable. And the amount of turtles we saw was out of this world and they come so close. The guides make sure you all get some photos with the turtles and hands down it was the best experience. Highly recommend and we will book again next time we come back to the Cook Islands. They also airdrop you the photos for free straight after the tour and provide refreshments. And absolute must do is this tour and the scooters were so fun to use and made snorkelling a breeze.

The guides were AMAZING and so patient with my mum who was not very confident in the water. She got her very own guide that talked her through everything so calmly and professionally. Our two children also participated and had the most amazing time! The scooters were also the better option as they did not fatigue while diving/swimming in the channel! I cannot recommend these guys enough! Professional, patient, knowledgeable, and hospitable. Do not think twice! Book with Moana Seascooters!!!!
