We fit you with fins and you'll complete your Sea Scooter Operators course. The 90 minute adventure starts with a quick safety brief, we then fit you with a mask and a snorkel, although we do encourage people to bring their own. You will see our friendly team in orange rashies. We meet in Avarua at the Avarua passage (next to Trader Jacks). Riding our eco-friendly sea scooters is also a lot of fun and they are also a safety tool unique to Ariki Adventures. While there are no guarantees, it is truly a magical experience if you are one of the lucky ones.
If you are truly lucky, you may get to encounter a humpback whale. Peak whale season is considered mid-June through to October. During this time, we can often hear their singing before an encounter. The gardens are home to sea turtles, moray eels, reef sharks and hundred of species of fish. In the right light, the colours of the coral are amazing. The Coral Gardens is a uniquely beautiful nature reef formation just outside our northern reef. After over 100 years of resting just below the surf zone, this shipwreck is now part of the reef.
