Reviews
The highlight of our trip was our day out with Kii on the lagoon, he knew the best spots to snorkel and avoided all the bigger boats so felt like we had the lagoon to ourselves.
– Pam
A fantastic day out!
Swimming, snorkeling around reefs, swimming with Trevallys (huge fish!), visits to unpopulated islands.
Kii is the perfect tour guide(and a very nice man), very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Just the two of us on his motor launch…a far cry from sitting with hordes of others🙂
Oh…and lunch is included in a secluded spot away from everyone 🙂
Thank you Kii …and Vaea for lunch🙂

The highlight of our entire visit to the Cook Islands was Kii’s private lagoon cruise ~ absolutely incredible ~ memories to last a lifetime. Thank you so very much Vaea & Kii for everything you do ~ you’re the best! I look forward to visiting again someday.
