Ocean 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.

I 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.

Appreciated 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.

Beautiful spot with amazing service and the best food we had on our trip, we came back for a second dinner we enjoyed it so much. Great food selection, kids menu and banana moro spring rolls to die for! Highly recommend.

Incredible 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)

This 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!
