Ariki Adventures: Premium Sea Scooter Turtle Adventure

The weather was a bit tricky during our stay so we were really lucky to have our Sea Scooter Tour go ahead. It was such an incredible experience and something we would love to do again. We appreciated all the information and photos supplied. We saw numerous turtles and also majestic eagle rays. Just one suggestion is to group inexperienced swimmers in their own group to keep the flow of the tour. But really enjoyed and highly recommend.

Ariki Adventures Sea Scooter Turtle Tour was amazing. The scooter takes snorkeling to the next level. It was super fun and I saw tons of turtles and fish. The guides were great and all the people were helpful and careful for our safety. The turtles are beautiful and I’m so happy I got to go experience this in Rarotonga for our 45th Anniversary on 7/3. Also, happy birthday Jane. ❤️🐢🤿💦🩵 PS I love that you include photos of our adventure!!! That makes it even more special.

This is an activity that must not be missed while on Rarotonga. The whole operation is friendly, professional and very safe. There are 3 guides for 8 in our group and they were very attentive to ensure that we all saw and were photographed with the turtles which were plentiful and often swimming near the surface. We also saw many rats although they were deeper so diving a few metres was necessary to see them more clearly. The sea scores scooters were a hoot, easy to use and made it much easier to swim against any currents, which were not too strong. Thanks to Albert, Lyle and the whole team. The bonus was the many free photos downloaded to our phone. Nothing extra to pay! Worth every dollar but make sure you book before you go to Raro in order to avoid missing out. We got lucky booking 2 days in advance. Not to be missed!!

Professional experience from beginning to end. Started with introduction of staff accompanying guests on the seascooter turtle adventure. Then led on to safety briefing and explanation on using the scooters. Tour broken into small groups with 3 guides per group. Scooters in excellent working condition and easy to use. Felt safe the entire trip and seeing the turtles uo close amazing. Professional photos supplied of swimming with turtles easily uploaded to phones. Highly recommend this company.

Water was a bit choppy with a fair bit of current but they made us feel completely safe world class experience

The most amazing experience & a tick off my bucket list. We were a group of 13 & had one guide to every 3 of us. I virtually had my own guide - Ake. I cannot speak highly enough of her. All guides were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, caring and friendly at all times. Our safety was of utmost importance to them, at all times. I highly recommend Ariki!

Amazing experience with Ariki Adventures! Was lucky to get to go after a couple days of bad weather on the island. Got to see turtles of all sizes. Operators were very organized and good with communication. Our group had 6 people on the tour which were lead by a lead guide, a safety swimmer, and a photographer. Felt very safe even though the current was a bit strong during our tour. The staff was good at keeping us together and keeping the turtles safe as well. It was my first time using a sea scooter and it was a ton of fun. Easy to use and was given clear instructions by staff before we left for the beach on how to use them. Me and my partner each got a pic with a turtle. Photographer did a great job of capturing the experience. This is not a boat tour. You walk and swim straight from the shore to the reef. Took a small boat back to shore from the reef. Not the cheapest turtle tour you can get on the island but well worth the price in my opinion for what you get. Equipment is in good working order, guides are knowledgeable and organized, staff was very friendly and helpful.

Amazing, great experience saw tons of Turtles and stingrays Recommend as something to do on your trip to Rarotonga

Best day ever highly recommend this company. Staff & owner are wonderful and abundance of turtles & rays
