If you’re looking for an epic underwater turtle adventure in Rarotonga, you’ve gotta check out this crew. 🌊🐟

Ariki Adventures! Locally owned and run, these guys are 1 of 3 of our top pick for turtle tour operators, with a bonux of having the sea scooters! Basically, you zoom around the reef like a real-life mermaid (or merman 🧜‍♂️) and explore all the magic beneath the surface. 🛴🌺 We've been out a bunch with these guys and LOVE the sea scooter adventure. The staff are wonderful too.

We loved how seriously they took safety without making it boring — their guides are absolute legends and made the whole experience feel super fun and relaxed. 🤿✨ They have a safety boat cruising around, lots of staff, heaps of knowledge and can spot the eagle rays & turtles from a mile away!

Ariki Adventures are on of the only companies offering to snorkel the shipwreck too which is another great experience!!

Honestly, exploring Raro’s reefs with Ariki Adventures is a must-do — especially if you want to see the island from a totally different (and unforgettable) perspective! 💙
