Having lived in Hawai'i off and on my entire life, I came in to the cruise thinking I'd seen it all and that this tour would just be "another snorkeling tour". Nothing could be further from the truth! Teking provides an extremely unique experience that you likely cannot get anywhere else in the world! He is entertaining, wise and keeps... more

There are 3 or 4 Lagoon tour operators on Aitutaki Island, that all do very similar tours. But Teking is the best. He runs every tour himself and knows where the very best snorkeling and swimming spots are in the entire lagoon. He cooks up lunch on Maina Island, which is the most ideal, picture perfect island you can imagine.... more

Great tour as it was with a smaller group than most other tour groups. Delicious food and great locations. LOTS of snorkelling and much more laughs. Teking himself was a captivating tour guide with a cheeky sense of humour. Would definately do the tour again!! more

This was the absolute highlight of our holiday in the Cook Islands. Teking was a great host, fantastic customer service with a good dash of humor. The snorkling spots were simply suberb. The very yummy BBQ lunch on the edge of a deserted Island - seated IN THE WATER - was an experience I will never forget. The boats dont... more

We went snorkelling with Teking Cruises and I must say it was the best tour I have been on in the Cook Islands!! There are other companies with bigger flasher boats but they don’t get to see what we did. We covered a large area of the reef stopping regularly to experience something a little different each time. We saw... more

we where looking for as much time in the water as possible, and were not disapointed. The small group size is a real bonus as you're not clambering over everyone to get in the water. The day was broken up with a BBQ lunch cooked on the beach - this was magnificent and a great experinance. A great day out... more

Having just got back to NZ, going on the TeKing Lagoon Cruise was definitely the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga and Aitutaki. We read all the reviews and booked in advance by emailing Te Ariki (owner) on: teking@aitutaki.net.ck The lagoon is just amazing and the snorkeling spots that we were taken to were awesome. We saw loads of beautiful... more

I recently had the opportunity to take a lagoon cruise in Aitutaki (May/2009). I choose Teking Lagoon Cruises because through word-of-mouth, they came highly recommended and different than the many other standard lagoon cruises out there. And they were right. Teking was AWESOME. I was travelling solo and was a bit apprehensive of going alone, knowing that there would be... more

All Snorkel Gear is provided by TeKing. Either Bring or Wear good water shoes. There are stone fish in the lagoon. He will also drop you off to wade along the sand bank from Honeymoon Island to another remote Island next to it to eat lunch. Also, he gives you brief island tours through wooded areas on the remote Islands.... more

We've been back home for 3 weeks now but can't stop thinking about Aitutaki, and one of the best memories is our lagoon cruise with Teking. We chose Teking based on the recommendation of our resort and were not disappointed. We liked the idea of a smaller boat with stops at more islands and snorkeling sites than the other cruises... more
