Absolute Highlight of my Rarotonga Trip. - The Moana sea scooter turtle tour was the best experience, a definite highlight! Guides were super friendly and helpful, in and out of the water. I loved that they are very respectful of the ocean and sea life, I can't recommend this tour highly enough and will definitely be booking with them again on my next trip to the Cook Islands. Also, the photos are great!

Best snorkelling tour - Had the best snorkeling experience yesterday with Moana Sea scooters, It was really windy above water but once we were in it was awesome. The current was really strong but the sea scooters were amazing and you could zoom along under the water easily. The tour guides made us all feel incredibly safe and checked up on us all the time, never going more than a few metres away from us. We saw the most amazing fish, so many majestic turtles and were even lucky enough to see about 40 eagle rays on the bottom. There was a dedicated photographer with us that took over a 100 photos and some cool videos to take with us. Highly recommend these guys!

Don't miss this experience! - Moana Sea Scooters were absolutely fantastic. Our entire family loved the experience, photos were outstanding! Alistair and the crew really looked after us well, were very respectful of the turtles and shared their knowledge with us. Bonus seeing the eagle rays too! This trip is definitely not to be missed. The scooters made it really accessible, very safe and really enjoyable.

Magical morning out! - What an incredible adventure this was! We were so well supported by the team as we went out in to the passage. I struggled to coordinate using the mask & snorkel (not experienced snorkelers at all!), flippers and the sea scooter so one of the team took my scooter and towed me on a flotation device so I could enjoy the adventure and feel safe too! My son, on the other hand, seems to be a natural and happily scootered all over the passage as we encounter (super close up on some occasion!) beautiful sea turtles, colourful fish, starfish and even glimpsed some manta rays far below! We spent a good while out there and when everyone started to tire out (6 people to 2 lifeguards plus extras around if needed!) we hopped in a small boat and headed back in. At the base they had fresh fruit, water and donuts waiting for us and then they airdropped an incredible selection of photos and videos to our phones! We highly recommend this tour for safety and the sea scooters are great in the passage currents.

Moana Sea Scooters - This was a terrific experience. We were a group of 6 with a tour guide and lifesaver with us the entire time. Moana's staff were friendly, informative and did the utmost to keep us save in the passage whilst we enjoyed swimming with the turtles. I would highly recommend this experience.

An exceptional personalised service - A big shout out to Pai n Alistair for their amazing care n supervision for both of us being non confident swimmers during our turtle tour. At no time did we feel unsafe, n we are very thankful for their personal attention. Alistair knew exactly where the turtles were n took lots of amazing photos n videos for us. They ensured groups were small n safety was paramount. I’ve read a lot of reviews before deciding n Moana Seascooters did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

Stunning and very enjoyable - I was a bit nervous as I get cramp in my legs but the team were superb. Suggested no flippers and gave my a floatation device to lean on and one of the boys helped me all the way They are very professional and very patient with this 81 year old woman.
