Creator's Key Takeaways

It was absolutely delicious. This is raw tuna with coconut cream and onions.

We also had the best fish stew I've ever had in my entire life.

So, that was awesome. We had a great day there.

This was an excellent excursion. I felt really lucky we got to do it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try raw fish dishes with coconut cream when in Tonga or French Polynesia.
Book excursions early to avoid last-minute cancellations.
Consider staying on the ship for small island ports if excursions are limited.

From incredible raw fish in Tonga to swimming with blacktip reef sharks in Bora Bora, here is the honest truth about cruising this region—including why several of our excursions didn't go as planned!
