The ‘must do’ day lagoon cruise aboard the 21 meter Polynesian style Vaka Titi-ai-tonga.

Every morning at 10am Mondays to Saturdays, the sound of the conch shell signals the departure of the Vaka for six hours of lagoon magic.

There’s snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing to do before tucking into to an Island Barbecued lunch of fresh caught ocean fish served on board and accompanied by a full bar service.

Visit several motu (small islets) and beach comb at One Foot Island before returning past the old TEAL flying boat base. Impromptu entertainment by the crew will have you tying pareu, weaving sunhats or humming island tunes.

They are always happy to provide snorkeling lessons for first timers.
