Our lagoon cruise in Rarotonga was, without a doubt, a highlight of our trip to the Cook Islands. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were immersed in the magic of Muri Lagoon and the incredible hospitality of the crew.What made our experience truly exceptional are below "Ooooh Mmyyy!!!!"
The Breathtaking Scenery. The turquoise waters of Muri Lagoon are even more stunning in person than in any photo. Cruising across the crystal-clear expanse, with the lush green hills of Rarotonga in the distance and the tiny motu dotting the horizon, felt like something out of a dream. The vibrancy of the water and the pristine natural beauty were simply captivating.
Exceptional and Entertaining, are the crew they are the heart and soul of this experience. Their warmth, humor, and genuine passion for their culture shone through every interaction. From the lively string band music that created an infectious, joyful atmosphere to the entertaining demonstrations like coconut husking and pareu tying, they ensured there was never a dull moment. Their local stories and insights truly enriched our understanding of Rarotongan life.
Incredible Snorkelling and Marine Life were spectacular. Equipped with provided gear, we dove into the marine reserve and were immediately surrounded by an abundance of colorful tropical fish. Seeing giant clams and vibrant coral up close was an absolute thrill. The glass-bottom boat also offered a fantastic view for those who preferred to stay dry, allowing everyone to witness the underwater wonders.
Delicious Island Feast on the Motu. The BBQ lunch served on one of the picturesque motu was a true taste of Rarotonga. The fresh, "Raro-style" Chicken, meats, accompanied by delicious salads and fresh fruit, was absolutely divine. Dining with our toes in the sand, surrounded by paradise, was an unforgettable experience.
It was clear that the crew and the company had a deep respect for the environment and a strong desire to share their culture. Knowing that a portion of our ticket goes towards marine conservation was a thoughtful touch, and their pride in their heritage was evident in every aspect of the tour.
In summary, a Rarotonga lagoon cruise is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting the island. It's more than just a tour; it's a vibrant, immersive cultural experience that showcases the unparalleled beauty of the Cook Islands. We left feeling refreshed, entertained, and with memories that will last a lifetime. Highly,...

Read moreWe had done this tour years ago and knew when we came back we needed to do it again. This trip was by far one of the highlights of our trip! Perfect for couples, families and business alike! We were picked up from our hotel and travelled to the Koka beach spot where we boarded a gorgeous boat with a Warriors flag of course (up the Wahs) and headed out to a deep snorkelling spot. The tour guides sang songs on the ukulele and were super entertaining, Cook Islands culture is unmatched! Songs were a mixture of local and well-known tunes to get everyone involved and smiling. The water was gorgeous, we snorkelled and saw lots of fish and big clams. Then we jumped back on the boat and headed to a small island, which was stunning and so perfect for photos. At the island we started off with lunch, while the locals continued playing music and making the experience so fun. The lunch was divine, a mixture of fresh fruit and vegetables with salad and meat. We spent some time on the beach and then Captain Awesome gave us a demonstration of his world record coconut tree climb. My boyfriend was asked to demonstrate too and had to climb the tree, so funny and a memory we’ll have forever. Captain Awesome then did a massive demonstration show with all the uses of the coconut, very informative and equally funny, he is an incredible entertainer. Finished with some more time swimming and a crab race! So worth your...
