WILDLIFE THURSDAY

BOAT CRUISE   -    whale watching    -    snorkelling sesh

Available during whale season (JUL–OCT), this special experience combines adventure with one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Cruise across the open ocean, enjoy a stop at iconic sites, and keep your eyes on the horizon for the chance to witness majestic whales in their natural habitat.

While whale sightings are not guaranteed, if whales are not spotted during your experience, we’ll make the most of your time on the water with an extended speedboat ride and a snorkelling session, giving you even more time to enjoy Rarotonga’s beautiful coastline and tropical waters.

Disclaimer: Children between 5-12 years must be supervised by a parent/guardian
