Depart Aitutaki
Long swim / Short swim - this is a swim safari at your own pace. You can swim long or short with support nearby for you to exit the water.
Swim sites - Aitutaki lagoon, motus or islands in the lagoon. We will also be offering swims behind the reef where the scenery underwater is magnificent.
Whale tour - watch whales in their natural habitat behind the reef. For the adventurous, get in the water at the right moment to view these magnificent creatures under water.
Swim Safari - Pack your fins, snorkel equipment, swim from point to point exploring the Aitutaki lagoon and see the plentiful sea life in the lagoon and behind the reef.
Swim starts - this is off the boat; you will be jumping into the water from the support boat. To finish some swims, you'll need to get out of the water onto the land. For others, you'll need to climb back onto the boat to get out of the water.
Exiting the water - a few of the swims will finish on land and a few will end in the water and you will need to climb back on the boat via the boat step.

Thank you! It was an amazing adventure, and I’ll be keen to sign up on another swim tour, probably in 2024 as we have a trip back to the UK planned next year. I really appreciate the opportunity of being part of such a unique experience.
