What To Expect
Snorkel Avaavaroa Passage, Rarotonga's last real-life aquarium, with only your group in the water. Your guide tows you out to the channel on a paddleboard. In the channel you see clear water, living coral and many reef fish. Green turtles come here to feed and rest, and sightings are highly likely. Because the tour is private, you set the pace. You can stay longer with a turtle, explore further, or go slowly if someone is a less confident swimmer. Your guide is a lifeguard, surfer or fisherman with beach experience in Australia and New Zealand. Your own photographer swims with you, and your photos are delivered within 48 hours. There are no boats on this tour.
