We really enjoyed our turtle experience with Papa Turtle and his team. We had a wide age range from 70 - 9 year olds and it was a holiday highlight for us all! We enjoyed having small numbers in our group and an assigned guide for our younger and older group members. There were alot of turtles and eagle rays seen but swimming alongside Charlotte was an unreal experience and one that we will remember for a long time. Thankyou for your friendly and caring manner towards our group.

My husband and I wanted to swim with turtles but hadn’t chosen a tour company yet. We were at the Saturday market and seen Papa Turtles booth. After chatting and seeing pictures, we felt a comfortable connection with Papa Turtle and decided to book a day and time. I indicated to him that I am a very scared non-swimmer. He put me at ease by telling me I would be very well taken care of and could ride on the paddle board with my husband but did not have to go in the water. He said if I did choose to go I would be very proud of myself. The day arrived and I was very nervous. I was given snorkeling gear, a wetsuit and life jacket. I enjoyed being pulled out on paddle boards and playing the name game with the lifeguards and other guests on the tour. When we got to the channel, I was too scared to get in the deep water and stayed on the paddle board with Papa Turtle. There was no pressure to get in so I observed from the surface. At the last stop where the small turtles were, Papa Turtle told me it would be the last chance to see turtles if I wanted to. Something inside urged me to go. I was given a floating device and 2 of the lifeguards placed their hands on top of mine and floated me over the edge of the coral. It was amazing ! I saw 4 turtles nestled in the coral, one was sleeping and then surfaced right infront of me! I was so excited! Baby Ray stayed with me the entire time as I watched the beauty below. I felt so safe and taken care of and was so happy I did not miss this incredible opportunity! My husband was so impressed with how safe and taken care of I was. We were pulled back to shore on paddle boards, towards the beautiful mountains, each one of us sharing the highlight of our day. Papa Turtle was right, I was very proud of myself! I will never forget this day and will be forever grateful for the opportunity to experience this moment.

Going on the Papa Turtle Tour was one of the best things we did all week in Rarotonga! They provided us specialized care and attention while on the tour and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and had a great time. We enjoyed that is was a small group setting and we were not rushed to see the turtles. Papa Turtle is the only tour I would recommend in Raro because they are family-oriented, do small-group tours and are friendly.

Es hat meiner Frau Beate und mir sehr viel Spass gemacht, mit dir und deinen Jungs die Unterwasserwelt von Rarotonga mit ihren bunten Fischen kennen zu lernen. Das Schnorcheln mit Schildkröten war ein großartiges Erlebniss für uns, das uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Wir wünschen dir und deinen Jungs eine gute Zeit und hoffen, dass die. Unterwasserwelt von Rarotonga noch lange erhalten bleibt.

Thank you so much for taking us to swim the the turtles. This was a magical experience and the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga. The care you show for the turtles and the marine environment was a joy to see. I hope many others will share this same experience and come away with a new appreciation for the islands, the people and the sea.

Had a wonderful experience swimming with the turtles and other sea life. Sharing stories of the sea life and history of Rarotonga. I’m not a confident swimmer, but he made me feel very safe in the water. We love you Papa Turtle! Definitely a must-do activity in Rarotonga. Book your private tour now or catch him at the Muri Night Market. Meitaki Papa Turtle.e

Had an amazing tour with papa turtle. We were in a small group of 7 people with mixed ability. We felt well looked after and had an amazing swim with the beautiful turtles in their natural habitat. We saw at least 7 turtles that day and other wonderful marine life. Papa turtle is very respectful of the marine life. A truly magical experience.
