Tour Itinerary:
With your private guide, travel along the ancient Ara Metua, or ‘Road of Toi’- built in 1050 AD as an all weather paved road, and visit ancient maraes (ceremonial sites), and local plantations. You will also visit the Maire Nui Tropical Gardens, a wonderful place that portrays the exuberant tropical nature of the island with many varieties of tropical flora on display for you to enjoy. You will enjoy a relaxing espresso coffee break in down town Avarua before heading to the stunning Muri lagoon to visit the departure point of the 7 Canoes that set sail for Aotearoa, New Zealand. While you are in Muri, you will also visit Te Ara Museum, a building that houses many products and much history of the Cook Islands. The tour will then continue on to the Rito factory, a boutique cold pressed coconut processing facility that specializes in beauty and health products made with cold pressed virgin coconut oil. Your scrumptious lunch is served and enjoy a taste of freshly caught fish. Your guide will demonstrate and explain the Cook Islands Tree of Life - the coconut tree. You will learn its many uses, as well as learn how to husk a coconut before sampling its exquisite flavour.
