One of the best tourism experiences ever
The Vaka Cruise的点评
点评：Went on the cruise as part of the Air Rarotonga day trip package (2 adults, 3 teenagers). It's always a bit uncertain as to whether these sorts of things will live up to the promised description. In this case, it surpassed it.
First up, the Aitutki lagoon. Whatever pictures/videos you've seen do not do it justice. Honestly one of the most beautiful places I've seen (and I've travelled quite a bit). The water is crystalline, the sand pure white, the green of the trees contrast, great open skies with clouds to give depth. Snorkling at the tours designated stop was quite good and certainly fun - but then at the last stop on One Foot Island we went off by ourselves and came across a turtle, which we then spent 15 minutes swimming alongside as it cruised the channel. A life memory.
Then, the cruise itself. Although the tour was full, the boat didn't really feel crowded - lots of room to move around and relax in. They've tweaked the ratio of time on the vaka (boat) to time on shore/in the water really well. The tour guide/MC figure (Ali) is a charismatic leader of both the experience and the Aitutaki community itself - the number of locals who came up to hug and chat with him shows that he's not *just* a tourist guide and the business is real part of the place in which it sits. The boat staff unobtrusively keep everything flowing perfectly, as well as providing a live musical soundtrack which had many of us singing along with them by the end. And the lunch provided was honestly the best food we had in the Cook Islands - a perfect mix of local produce salads, fruits and BBQ'd swordfish.
Yes, it's a bit pricey to get over and do this. But it's also one of the best tourism experiences I've ever had anywhere. The fact that the Island deliberately is keeping the visitor footprint small makes this a rarity today - a near-custom designed exclusive experience that you can buy straight off the internet. All five of us from ages 15-55 unreservedly recommend.

翻译：我们参加了拉罗汤加航空一日游套餐中的游船之旅（2位成人，3位青少年）。这类行程总是让人有点忐忑，不知道是否真的如宣传的那样精彩。但这次，它远远超出了预期。
首先是艾图基泻湖。无论你之前看过什么照片或视频，都无法真正展现它的美。说实话，这是我见过的最美的地方之一（而且我去过很多地方）。湖水清澈见底，沙滩洁白如雪，与翠绿的树木形成鲜明对比，开阔的天空点缀着朵朵白云，更添几分深邃。在旅行团指定的浮潜点浮潜体验很棒，也很有趣——但在最后一站——独脚岛，我们独自下水，遇到了一只海龟，然后我们和它一起游了15分钟，看着它在水道里悠闲地游来游去。这绝对是一生难忘的经历。
接下来，说说游船本身。虽然旅行团满员，但船上并不觉得拥挤——有很多空间可以走动和放松。他们把乘船游览和岸上/水上活动的时间比例把握得非常好。导游兼主持人阿里魅力十足，不仅带领着整个旅程，也融入了艾图塔基当地社区——许多当地人上前拥抱他、与他聊天，这表明他不仅仅是一位导游，他的事业也真正融入了当地社区。船员们默默地维持着一切的顺畅进行，还现场演奏音乐，以至于我们很多人在旅程结束时都跟着一起唱了起来。午餐绝对是我们库克群岛之行中最棒的一餐——当地食材沙拉、水果和烤剑鱼的完美搭配。
没错，去那里参加这个旅行团确实有点贵。但这绝对是我经历过的最棒的旅游体验之一。岛上刻意减少游客数量的做法，使得这种近乎定制的专属体验在如今实属罕见，而且你还可以直接在网上购买。我们五个人，年龄在15岁到55岁之间，都毫不犹豫地推荐。
