Green Turtle Tours offers private, personalised turtle experiences on Rarotonga, led by Eric and his team, a professional waterman with many years of experience in the ocean. Our turtle tours are designed around safety, respect for marine life and a genuine connection with the natural environment.

We operate exclusively private turtle tours, allowing guests to enjoy a more personal and relaxed experience away from large groups and without boats or other disturbing devices in the water. Every tour is carefully planned around weather, tides, swell, visibility and sea conditions, and adapted to each guest’s swimming ability and comfort level.

A strong focus is placed on responsible turtle encounters, giving the turtles space and freedom while allowing guests to observe them naturally in their environment.

Another special part of the experience is the great footage provided after the tour, allowing guests to relive their encounter and share the experience with family and friends.

Our aim is to provide a very different experience from larger operators: personal, carefully prepared, safety-conscious and focused on quality rather than numbers.
