Discover Avarua
Avarua is the compact capital of the Cook Islands, sitting on the northern coast of Rarotonga Island. It's a central hub for exploring Rarotonga and a great starting point for any Cook Islands adventures. Within Avarua lives the energetic Punanga Night Market, a must-do on a Tuesday night for any visitor passing through. Here you'll find a range of local crafts, including brightly coloured pareos (wraparound skirts), woven baskets and exquisite black pearl jewellery, unique to the islands.
If you have time on your travels, consider learning about the Maori culture at the Cook Islands Library and Museum, showcasing artefacts and exhibits around Polynesian traditions. Avarua is a popular place to stay if you're planning to discover Rarotonga's many idyllic beaches, with rentals for kayaks, paddleboards and snorkel gear readily available.
April through to November is the ideal time to visit Avarua - this is the dry season for the Cook Islands, allowing you to comfortably enjoy outdoor activities with warm temperatures and steady humidity levels. Rainfall is possible all year round though on the Cooks, so make sure you pack appropriate clothing!
