- Experience the Punanga Nui Market. A must-do in Avarua is the unmissable Punanga Nui Market. It’s the place to be on a Saturday morning with its array of tropical produce, smoothies and other treats at the food stalls, while pareu (sarongs), island shirts and black pearl jewellery make for fun souvenirs.
- Shop, Browse the Bergman Gallery and Have a Coffee at the Historic Beachcomber Building. A grand limestone building on the waterfront of Avarua’s eastern shores, the Beachcomber Building not only offers a flair of history but it packs in a few reasons to visit.
- See (or Snorkel to) the Matai Shipwreck. Either admire “The Boiler” poking out of the ocean from shore at Trader Jacks or swim out to the 100+-year-old ship yourself.
- Browse the Cook Islands National Museum… Avarua has no lack of museums, starting with the Cooks Island National Museum. Browse carved artefacts, seafaring vaka replicas, traditional tivaevae linen and learn more about their cultural and historical significance through the information text on the walls.
At the base of the rugged, dramatic mountains of Rarotonga lies Avarua, a modest capital boasting a number of bustling outdoor markets, several restaurants and bars, boutiques and the National Museum of the Cook Islands.
