Thank you dear Eddie! You’re the best Kayak Guide ever!

I had my very first kayak experience and it couldn’t have been better! Our guide was absolutely the best anyone could wish for – cool, chillax, kind, respectful, and genuinely friendly. His professionalism and skill made me feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. He shared so much knowledge, guided with patience, and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere on the water. It was clear he really knows his craft and loves what he does. I came away not only with a great adventure but also with new confidence. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone – whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, you couldn’t ask for a better guide!

FAQs

We have never sighted a dangerous shark at Cook Island. We do however get to see Wobbegongs & Leopard Sharks.

Cook Island is home to a large variety of Green Turtles, Hawksbill Turtles and also Loggerhead Turtles. It is extremely uncommon to snorkel the Island and not encounter the turtles. 

This is dependant on the individual. If you have previously been sea sick in the past it is a possibility due to the varying conditions on the day. 

We take exclusive tours of only 9 snorkelers at any time to ensure you have the best experience possible! This allows a personal experience and to make sure you see the turtles.

Yes, this is very IMPORTANT for both your experience and others on the boat. Our guides are there not only to keep you safe but to also show you the delights of the underwater realm of Cook Island.

We do require experience with a snorkel mask on. Our staff are highly trained & qualified and refresh the necessary skills for snorkelling before each tour. We happily provide private Snorkel Skill Lessons if desired and suggest for beginner snorkelers to ensure more confidence & safety in the water. ( Pls call + 61 430 082 890 to enquire lessons )

Cook Island is a volcanic outcrop which had been awarded a marine reserve park status so no access to the Island is granted.
