Top 8 Museums in Rarotonga, Southern Cook Islands
Sipping coconut milk while bargaining for handmade jewelry and swaying your hips to live music—just another Saturday morning in Rarotonga. After a few hours of checking out the wharf-side Punanga Nui Market, hit the beaches of this reef-protected volcanic island. There are plenty of picturesque lagoons that allow peaceful swimming or snorkeling, and moonlit strolls along the East Side sands are pure magic. Raro Safari Tours are a popular way to explore the island’s vivid rainforest.

Great place to visit and talk to Jean the Curator who can explain interesting history. A definite stop to learn about Maori culture and Islands. Not publicly funded so help with your support.

This trip obtained 3 pieces! Love how this fabric art fits into any decor, including our fairly traditional home. She sells at the Beachcomber and Beluga. This is the second year i have picked something up and she says she is planning on expanding her line. So i expect to get another piece in 2020 when we return again! Fantastic! I appreciate she is a local artist vs. buying some piece of junk made overseas and passed off as local! This is original art that is affordable!
