DESCRIPTION
For a group of up to 9 to come on our private and unique adventure on the Tweed Coast. Bring your loved ones and share the experience of visiting and learning more about the wonders of our local aquatic life together. An intimate experience, creating memories to cherish forever.
Located less than 1km off Fingal Headland, the tiny volcanic
outcrop of Cook Island is home to a permanent population of Green
Turtles, Hawksbill Turtles and also Loggerhead Turtles.
