Best experience of my life - Small tour group (5) with great guides! Safety was exceptional, we felt safe the whole time. Perfect for strong and weak swimmers. We saw so many turtles, eagle ray, fish and corals. We received our photos and videos instantly. There was also a fresh fruit plate to enjoy while we dried off and looked at our photos. Couldn’t rate higher. Thanks for a great experience.

Moana Sea Scooters - A Must Do Experience - This tour was amazing, they take small groups only, we felt very safe and they genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. Will be recommending to our friends and when I come back, will do it again with Moana Sea Scooters.

Sea scooter turtle tour Rarotonga - Out of this world experience! If you are coming to Rarotonga any time soon don’t think twice about going here. The crew were amazing, once we got there we had a quick talk before going in. They gave us time to practice using the snorkel and flippers and then time to practice using the sea scooters before going into the deeper water. Each group (which were the people you came with) had their own guide and lifeguard at all times, the lifeguard was there to help at any time even if you just needed a break. The guide was also amazing taking heaps of photos and talking us around to see heaps of turtles. We had around a one and a half hour session in which we saw so many turtles in. After we got a plate of fresh fruit which were delicious. In total we got 108 photos and 12 videos all of which were good quality and included in the price of the session. Highly recommend!

Moana's Sea-Scooters: Amazing Crew and Turtle Encounters - Had an amazing time! Customer service was top-notch! Just as we were about to start, I was feeling abit panicky so I was on the speed boat for the most part of it,but they offered to drive me around in it. I ended up going back in again and OMG the experience was out of this world! The turtles, the little fishes so pretty and I think I saw small Dory! Anyway overall experience was so good! 100% recommend!

Once in lifetime experience! - WOW, what an amazing experience! A bucket list item for me! The team at Moana Sea Scooters were fantastic and looked after us perfectly. My husband, 2 kids (ages 13 and 17) and myself are decent swimmers but I was still a little anxious about the strong currents and deep water in the passage. The team put me at ease straight away. First we practiced using the scooter in shallow water until we got the hang of it. My 13 yr old struggled quite a bit and got frustrated, but they were so patient with him and helped him work out the best way for him. After that, he was great and full of confidence! We saw soooooo many turtles - I would think about 10. Plus tonnes of fish, coral, a moray eel and one eagle ray too! A great keepsake from this tour is that they take stacks of photos and videos of you with the turtles and then air-drop them to your phone at the end. They look incredible!!!! I still pinch myself when I look at the videos. Honestly, one of the best experiences of my life. Definitely do this tour if you visit Rarotonga.

Amazing tour, sensational experience & great photos & memories - This was an amazing tour. We had a guide to lead us to the turtles and a lifeguard who checked with us regularly to make sure we were ok. The current was strong so we were very happy that we had the motorised scooters to pull us along. We can’t believe how close we were able to get to the turtles and how many we saw. It was an incredible experience. Our guide took photos and videos of us and the turtles and they were downloaded to our phones at the end of the tour and they are sensational, a fabulous memory. The tour lasted about an hour and cost $150pp and it was definitely worth the money. If you’re not a really strong swimmer, then go with this business as the sea scooters make is so easy to move around and enjoy the beautiful turtles. Only Moana and one other business use the motorised scooters - definitely worth paying a little more. We would do the tour again when we come back to Rarotonga. The team was very friendly and professional and we would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing, safe and enjoyed by all - Thank you for taking my family of 9 out. My son who is 6yrs old was well looked after, an I felt safe that he was taken care of the whole tour while we got to leisurely enjoy our time out in the water without having to worry. The photos and videos were top notch quality and memories well captured for us. I would highly recommend this turtle company amongst the many out there. Thank you team. We will be back!

Soo many turtles and Eagle Rays - Soo many turtles and Eagle Rays. Went out with Moana Sea Scooters and as promised we saw quite a few turtles. Everything as described to us in the email although it said VIP one on one experience. Not sure what that referred to. We had a guide for 4 and we never felt unsafe at any time. In all there may have been 12 or more from Moana Sea Scooters. There is however at least two other companies that were out at the same time. So at times it got crowded and bumping into people. You also literally bump into the turtles. Some of this could have been my fault as I couldn't hear the guide with my head in the water. Hard to know. I felt confident with the scooter however when I did stop to check for the guide it is heavy to hold so had trouble treading water. I am not a strong swimmer so that was the trade off. Probably wouldn't have gone without the scooter. If you have a go pro take it with you as I think they can attach to the scooter. But we did get some great photos immediately after the tour as promised. In all a great experience.
