Amazing highly recommend. Went out on see through kayaks/standup paddle board with night lights that lit the ocean floor bed so we could see the marine life. Loved hearing about how the business concept came about, enjoyed the entertainment with band/fire dance and the meal was delicious. To top it off we have amazing photos/memories. Loved that its a family owned business run by locals. Meitaki maata Martha, Johnny. the boss man/owner Dryden and the crew.

The hosts, Martha and John, are warm and welcoming Cook Islanders who provided a truly unique and authentic evening of lagoon discovery and culture. Our small group of six followed John into the lagoon at sunset to seek out viewings of turtles, manta rays and eels. In our clear, brightly lit kayaks, John found many turtles and because of our small group, we all were able to get really close to the them multiple times. I don’t know how the larger kayak groups out there could do this. We were really privileged and we had a good hour out in the lagoon with the setting sun behind us. Choice! After returning to shore, Martha had ready for us a splendid feast, accompanied by four talented Islander musicians. Then, after the feast, two acrobatic fire dancers thrilled us with their fiery batons a-blaze! High recommendation for King Dryden Aqua Ventures!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! What a great experience! It was a peaceful way to connect with the ocean and see the underwater world from above. Our son LOVED it as well! Incredibly kind family made the experience unforgettable. Appreciated them sharing their stories and some insights to the island and culture. Dinner was fantastic as well! We will definitely go on this adventure again!
