About Us
We are Ocean Toa, your ocean warriors, dedicated to offering memorable adventures in the stunning waters of the Cook Islands. As a family-owned and operated business, we are privileged to have grown up immersed in the crystal-clear waters of the South Pacific, with deep-rooted connections throughout the Cook Islands.
Our journey began on our family Pearl Farm located in the Northern Group Island of Manihiki, where our profound bond with the ocean and its vibrant marine life was cultivated. This upbringing instilled in us a passion for sharing the beauty of our home and a commitment to protecting it.
At Ocean Toa, we believe in investing in our home through meaningful experiences that foster a deeper understanding of our unique ecosystem. Our turtle tours not only create unforgettable memories but also contribute to the education of our tamariki and the conservation of our precious reef. We invite you to join us in exploring the wonders of our ocean while actively participating in its preservation.
Our Business is built on 3 pillars that capture our vision, heart and drive
1. OCEAN TOA
2. OCEAN TAMARIKI
3. OCEAN TUPUNA
OCEAN TOA is proud to provide authentic experiences for visitors showcasing the wonders of our backyard. Ocean Toa tours shares the joy we had growing up as kids in the best playground mother nature has to offer. Enjoy the abundance of our marine life knowing you are in safe hands. Join us.
OCEAN TAMARIKI is one of our investment paths into community & future generations. Every person who enjoys one of our tours, helps gives back to the “household” in whose backyard you are enjoying.
$10 from every person who does our tours goes into our “OCEAN TAMARIKI School Holiday Program” This program enables us to teach Ocean confidence, water safety skills, and allow local kids to also experience the wonders our beautiful nation has to offer. This fund will provide Fee Free adventures and learning for our local kids during the school holidays. When you choose us, you invest in our future generations too.
In addition to our years of experience in the water we are skilled in management & administration, health & safety, first aid, Bronze Medallion lifesavers, sport coordination & school and holiday programming
OCEAN TUPUNA is our long-term vision for ocean health and animal welfare. We are today’s TOA’S (Warriors) but tomorrow’s TUPUNA’S (Ancestors), we therefore have a responsibility to be better custodians. As an Ocean nation the ocean is critical to our lifestyle & livelihood and therefore should be at the forefront of our mindset. We aim to bring a voice to ocean concerns, shed light on the realities below the surface and challenge the status quo on the direction we should be moving.
We cannot wait to share more about our goals and actions in this space.
