What happens if the weather is bad?
Weather can be unpredictable. We recommend discussing the dates of your arrival and departure of your Aitutaki stay with us in advance so we can plan for a backup day if necessary. On the day of your arrival in Aitutaki, we’ll confirm the tour date. If adverse weather prevents us from operating, we’ll suggest alternative ways to enjoy Aitutaki’s lagoon.

What if I want more island exploration and less snorkelling?
Our private lagoon tours are flexible. If you prefer more island exploration or more snorkelling, please contact us in advance so we can tailor the itinerary to your preferences.
What should we bring on the tour?
We recommend brining the following: reef-safe sunscreen, jandals/reef shoes, a beach towel and adequate sun protection as we do not have shelter on board. Because our vessel is small, we ask that you take into consideration the amount and weight of the personal items you want to bring on board.
What are your cancellation and refund policies
Cancellations are accepted up to one day before the scheduled tour. Since we don’t require advance payment, refunds are not applicable.
