After breakfast we enjoy an Orientation Tour of Rarotonga with a stop at the Rarotonga Brewery where we will be given a short tour to learn about their humble brewing process and the option to sample the local beer.

Today we visit a local school for a special experience. Take a tour of the school, meet the teachers and school children, enjoy morning tea and experience how the children spend their day. This is a great opportunity to give back to the Island by providing the children with much needed school supplies - further details to be provided. We return to the resort for an afternoon at our own leisure before our “Progressive Dinner” where we are treated to traditional island cooking as we progress to three different Island homes for entrée, main course and dessert. A fun night and a good way to meet the local people and sample some of the fine local Island dishes – quality is assured.

After breakfast this morning we head off on our Captain Tama’s Lagoon Cruise. Listen to the drums before boarding our vessel to get a view of the wonderful marine life in Rarotonga’s lagoons through a glass bottom boat or snorkel with the fish (snorkels and flippers supplied). We disembark for lunch and relax on our own uninhabited island to enjoy a delightful beach BBQ and truly entertaining show. Mid-afternoon we return by glass bottom boat to the beach hut and make our way back along the beach to our hotel. Tonight, we enjoy dinner at the resort.

After a leisurely breakfast we enjoy Rarotonga’s Saturday Punanga Nui Market which offers a wide range of island gifts and handicrafts, pearls, pearl shell jewellery, clothing, local music and fresh local produce. This afternoon at the Te Ara Museum we will enjoy a short tour and view their world-class exhibition of the history of the Cook Islands (Rarotonga). After a relaxing afternoon we are in for a treat tonight at the Te Vara Nui Polynesian Village for the “Ultimate Island Experience”, the biggest show in Rarotonga. Watch dancers and musicians perform while enjoying a delicious blend of traditional and modern cuisine as we watch the show unfold. This is a ‘must do’ experience not to be missed.
