Itinerary

  1. Maire Nui Gardens & Cafe

  2. Black Rock Beach

    15 min

    One of the few volcanic rocks immerged in the lagoon. The contrast between the blackness of the rock and many shades of blue within the lagoon makes it the perfect place for amazing pictures.

    30 min Admission included

    Te Ara Museum is a world-class historical exhibition located in Muri, Ngatangiia. There is much to see and learn about here, not only just the history of the Cook Islands but also about the importance of protecting our marine environment.

  4. Tokerau Jim

    30 min
