Our Story

Kia Orana and welcome to KAOTEA Fishing & Lagoon Charters! We’re a family team Husband and wife, Dylan and Haylee, with our youngest son Chance, who’ve turned our love for the ocean into something truly special. Aitutaki is our home, and we’re thrilled to share its beauty with you in a way that feels more like family than just another tour.

Our Passion

When you join us, it’s more than just a day out on the water—it’s about connecting with nature, embracing the moment, and having a good time together. We’ll take you island hopping to our favorite motus (those charming little islands), snorkeling in crystal-clear waters where turtles, coral fish, and eagle rays glide by, or if you’re up for it, we’ll go after that big catch—whether it’s a yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, or the mighty giant trevally.
