5.00I booked this tour, but unfortunately our cruise ship did not port in Noumea. I reached out via email regarding a refund, and the owner responded within minutes assuring I would be refunded. He even sent the refund slip. I would 100% book with this company if we are ever in Noumea again. Customer service was impeccable.

1.00DO NOT BOOK through GET YOUR GUIDE!! This is listed as a cruise ship passenger tour, the ship couldn’t dock this morning due to dangerous conditions and a refund is being refused. The cancellation policy needs to be amended for these circumstances 😡😡😡 My advice is to book directly with the charter company as they would have issued a full refund and are now trying to assist with getting a refund processed from GetYourGuide!!

5.00Way better than expected. Lots of turtles and a beautiful beach. Keep your eye out for the sea snakes!
Beatiful and rustic island

5.00Beautiful water taxi ride even if it was a "Water Taxi" small boat. The small island was beautiful and rustic. Snorkeling was fair to good as this day had a lot of wave action, clouding the water close to shore. Farther out was much clearer. Also, the water taxi drops you off and leaves, returning at the agreed upon time.
Family friendly swim with wild turtles

5.00Such an amazing experience - our 8 year old is OBSESSED with turtles... we have tried snorkelling to find them before and left with a very sad and disappointed boy who didn't get to see them - this experience was the opposite - he saw 12 turtles, the snorkelling was perfect for him and his 6 year old brother and we all got up close and personal with wild turtles- it was magnificent!! The tour operators were professional, friendly and really added to the experience. I highly recommend this tour - we had an amazing time!!!
Excellent experience
