Wreck of the Matai Tours

Master a new skill, or perfect an old one, at Wreck of the Matai. Enjoy the feeling of being weightless as you descend into the depths.

Wreck of the Matai is a worthwhile place to begin exploring Avarua. This underwater attraction is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Muri Beach, Aroa Beach, and Muri Lagoon to really enjoy what the area has to offer.
