Cruise through Tonga Island Marine Reserve to reach Awaroa, a fascinating inlet that has inspired generations of settlement and protection. Choose your lunch option:

  • order a delicious picnic lunch from us
  • bring your own
  • book lunch at the Awaroa Lodge restaurant. This property is not owned by us and is closed during low season. Please contact them to confirm lunch options and availability (phone 03 528 8758).
