Captain Tamas Lagoon Muri cruise

What a great experience. All the crew are 'Captain' somebody, A very talented circus of blokes who can sing, play drums, play ukuleles, dance and joke. They engaged with all the people and made them feel relaxed and at ease. Swimming was good, and the water was crystal clear. It also made you more buoyant, perhaps due to a higher salt content in the lagoon. BBQ food was enjoyable with some local ingredients. We'd go again if we return to Raro.

Must do activity!!!

I have been to Rarotonga 3 times now and have gone on Tama's cruise every time. This is a must-do activity! The first two times I was with my family, but this time it was just me and my partner. This activity is great for any type of group (or solo), and appropriate for all ages. The meet up point is easy to find and very well organised. The crew are so amazing at making you feel welcome and set the vibe so well, it is the best activity for beginning your holiday and embracing the island culture! During the boat ride, the crew sing songs and engage in conversation about their island and provide opportunity for the guests to talk about where they are travelling from. You stop and have the chance to snorkel for half an hour which is a great way to look at all the beautiful coral, fish, and sometimes see turtles and/or moray eels! If you do not wish to snorkel, you can stay on the boat and look at the sea creatures through the boat's glass bottom. Once finished there, the crew take you to a nearby island for a beautiful BBQ lunch and entertainment! You then have free time where you can relax on the beach, go swimming, or play volleyball with the crew. I would 100% recommend going on Tama's Muri Lagoon Cruise to anyone visiting Rarotonga!! Thank you to all of the wonderful captains for their magnificent energy, and kickstarting our trip in the best way possible <3
