Questions, answered
Everything you need before you step on board. Cannot find it? Call us on (682) 58608.
How do I book?
Book online through our booking page. You pay online and are booked in straight away, with your confirmation by email. Trips without a set price, such as private charters, are sent to us as a request and we reply with a quote. You can also call us on (682) 58608.
Is there a minimum group size?
Online bookings are for 2 people or more. If a trip has only 1 seat left, 1 person can book it. For a solo trip on another day, give us a call.
How much notice do you need?
Online bookings close 24 hours before departure. For a last-minute trip, call us and we will see what we can do.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No deposit is needed. Payment is taken in full at checkout when you book online. Trips without a set price are paid once we have agreed a price with you. Prices are in NZD.
Can I book a private charter for my group?
Yes. Private charters run for 4 or 8 hours and the whole boat is yours. Get in touch for a quote.
Where do we meet?
Avatiu Wharf in town, opposite CITC supermarket. Some trips leave from Avana Wharf, and your confirmation will say which.
What time do trips leave?
Trips run in the morning or the afternoon, and we confirm your exact departure time with you before your trip. Please arrive 15 minutes early.
What should I bring?
Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a light jacket. Bring water and snacks too, and a camera for the photos.
I’ve never fished before. Is that OK?
Absolutely. The skipper will show you everything you need, from holding the rod to bringing your fish on board. Plenty of our guests are first-timers.
Can I keep my catch?
The catch is shared on the day. Talk to the skipper about what you would like to take home.
Is all the gear supplied?
Rods, reels and lures are supplied on our fishing trips. For spear fishing and snorkeling, let us know when you book if you need gear.
What fish might we catch?
Yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, marlin and barracuda are all regulars off Rarotonga.
When is whale season?
Humpback whales visit Rarotonga from about July to October. Whale watching trips only run during the season.
Can we swim with the whales?
On some days, when conditions are right and the whales are relaxed. It is always the skipper's call, and the whales come first.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If the skipper decides it is not safe or comfortable to go out, we will move your trip to another day or give you a refund.
I get seasick. Should I still come?
Yes. Take seasickness tablets before you come, have a light breakfast, and keep your eyes on the horizon. Fresh air on deck helps too.
No questions match that search. Try another word, or call us on (682) 58608.
Still have a question?
We are happy to help. Call, text or email any time.
