Nikki is amazing. We took this tour to especially swim with the turtles which she made sure we did!! We attended with my mom and dad and kids (11 and 14). My mom is not very mobile and they went out of their way to accommodate her, especially getting on and off the boat.
I wish we could have done even longer than 4 hours. She was insightful, helpful, and a lot of fun. Also, I contacted many companies to book before we left on our trip, Nikki was quick to respond and helpful.

I’ve traveled the world, and I can honestly say this was the best boat excursion I’ve ever experienced! My sister and I were lucky enough to have a private boat ride with Nicky, who is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. She took us to the most stunning snorkeling spots, where we swam with rays, sharks, colorful fish, vibrant corals, and even explored an underwater art installation created in honor of the indigenous people of Polynesia.
Nicky, a marine biologist, shared fascinating insights about the lives of fish and whales, enriching the entire experience. We were also fortunate to see spinner dolphins and turtles during the trip. The views of the island from the boat were absolutely breathtaking.
The boat itself was very comfortable, and Nicky thoughtfully prepared homemade refreshments, snacks, and fresh fruit for us. I’m already hoping to return one summer to swim with whales under Nicky’s guidance. This experience is truly one-of-a-kind—highly recommended!

Nicky was the best guide - extremely knowledgeable (she has a Uni degree and teaches at the university). We had a fab time - we did a private four hour snorkeling tour. We went to three places - swam with black tip sharks, sea turtles
- sing rays. We would definitely go back and do even more with her. Communication pre booking was excellent. We didn’t hike but her husband handles that aspect.
