Captain Tama’s Cruise - A must do.
markaW3946UK, October 2026
Great days outing with Captain Tama’s cruises.
The energy that the Captain and his crew bring to the cruise makes the day . The snorkelling was good, the lunch well prepared with plenty of options. However it was the “show” that the Captain and his team presented that made the day even more wonderful.
I haven’t heard a crowd laugh and cheer so much in a long time. The Captain involved the crowd in the show and made everyone feel really welcome.
Did I mention the singing and songs? Again the Captain and the crew nailed this. Everyone on the boat got involved and sang along.
Overall a sensational day’s outing which I thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Rarotonga.
