5.00Captain Tama Lagoon Cruise is truly the best of the best! Highly recommend — the entertainment was amazing, the service was excellent, and the lunch was a solid 10/10. Don’t leave the Cook Islands without booking this fabulous experience. The whole journey was filled with laughter, fun, and rich cultural knowledge shared along the way. We are so grateful for the memories. Makai Family, Brisbane (and our USA Atiu uncle too 😂🤣, Paul and Leesh wedding party)

5.00This was a great experience full of fun, entertainment, lots of laughter, had a beautiful lunch, Beautiful swimming among the fishes, lovely day out! The crew give you all the safety precautions and are always on the watch while you swimming. You are allowed to consume alcohol on this tour! So bring your drinks. But be respectful and take your rubbish with you, don't come drunk and spoil the experience, and smoking on the island! Please use the shell ashtray or put away till you get back to mainland. I strongly reccomend doing choosing Captain Tamas! You won't be dissapointed.
