A unique experience - I really enjoyed our excursion to Cook Island. Jem has done her utmost to show us as much as possible while snorkeling. This was sometimes a bit too fast for me, but fortunately she took me in tow, so I saw beautiful fish and turtles. On the way back we were also accompanied by a group of dolphins, which made my holiday extra unique. Thank you so much for this unique experience.

Magical experience with turtles and manta ray - Wow! What an experience. I feel so lucky to get the chance to see such beautiful creatures in their habitat in an ethical way. We were lucky enough to see Dolphins, sea turtles, leopard shark, and a manta ray which is so rare! The team were amazing - They are so knowledgeable about the wildlife and it’s a pleasure to see that they genuinely care about the creatures. I would 100% recommend this company to snorkel. In our group, there were beginners as well as experienced snorkellers so anyone would be welcome on this tour. Thank you so much team for this experience that will be a memory to last forever.

Highly recommended ethical experience - This experience is highly recommended, Cass and Lochie were fabulous tour guides, friendly and informative we felt at ease and safe at all times. On the way out to the island we saw a pod of dolphins with a baby, what a special moment this was being able to observe them so closely swimming near the boat! We saw many turtles, lots of different species of colourful fish and even some blue starfish! We spotted a baby turtle swimming amongst the adult turtles which was extra special!

Turtles, sharks and sting rays - This trip is amazing! Short trip to the snorkeling spot. Great small group with an amazing crew, Lexi was our guide she was helpful and knowledgeable about the animals we saw. As soon as we got in the water we saw 3 turtles straight away and from there we saw 2 sharks a school of sting rays and at least another 15-20 turtles as well as different fish. Highly recommend to all.

Epic - Great tour! We saw lots of turtles and a few sharks 😧 Very knowledgeable staff who guided us through the area and pointed out all the sea life. The time zones can be a little confusing though 😁

Fun adventure - The boat ride out was fun in itself. Cass was great snorkeling and making sure we all saw a turtle up close. The fruit at the end was refreshing. Good family adventure.
