birthdaysurprise Posted August 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Can anyone offer any input as to which is a better activity/tour? I am looking at the Vaka cruise ....have email twice and still no response vs the PG Lagoon cruise that I have reserved as of now. The Vaka looks wonderful and rates very high on tripadvisor but the lack of correspondence makes me a little concerned. Their price point is significantly better the PG also. The tours look very similar. Any input is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted August 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Way different in some ways ... Vaka is a larger / slower craft that heads primarily to one foot island with a few stops on the southern side of the lagoon. PG is a quicker craft with better snorkeling stops. Comes down to the snorkeling issue for most though the Vaka is a lazy drip for those that love to enjoy the views without getting in the water.

It was booked privately through someone else on our cruise, so not sure how easily he can be reached. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2017 We've got Vaka booked or October, so I'm curious about Kahuna's comments. It is cheaper than the ship's tour, for sure. If you're not cruising too soon, I can comment when I come back, in late October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we are on the same cruise : ) The other 2 couples we are travelling with both booked Vaka because PG was full. We still may switch to Vaka if there is room still, or stay with PG and compare stories at dinner that night :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted September 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I've taken all three of the major lagoon excursions. TeKing, Bishops and Vaka. I believe the ship uses one of the three, I think I know which one but will refrain as I could be wrong. Bottom line: all three are good but for different reasons. Do a bit of study of reviews and find the one that you think will float your boat the best. As I said, not a bad tour among the three ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be getting our documents any day now! We leave October 2nd for L.A. and are spending 3 nights pre-cruise on Moorea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
