Information on the Cook Islands - Entertainment |
|||
There is plenty of nightlife on the island, the most memorable of which is one
of the spectacular Island Nights staged in the many local hotels and bars.
These usually include a huge buffet of local foods and a vibrant, colourful
show of traditional Cook Island dancing and reputedly some of the best
drumming in the world.  Apart from Island Nights, there are many lively nightspots in the main town of Avarua, including the RSA, Banana Court, Staircase and infamous Trader Jacks. Or, for a more relaxed drink and a snack, try Whatever Bar with its great views over the lagoon and town, or watch a breathtaking sunset with a cocktail at the Crown Beach Resort. Tumunu bar and restaurant is a great local secret - there's a regular darts match every Tuesday and anyone can join in so no excuses! You can spend hours looking at the various memorabilia (not for the faint-hearted!) on the walls, and talking to the eccentric Welsh landlord Eric! There are plenty of eateries to choose from on the island, catering for everybody’s tastes. Here are just a few options... |

| Cafés | |||
 Saltwater Café and Fruits of Rarotonga are great little
beachside cafes on the southern side of the island with excellent snorkelling
just over the road. Both offer a range of snacks and drinks, and the Saltwater
Café is even open in the evenings for meals. In town, The Café do superb breakfasts and lunches, and Café Salsa have an extensive menu with choices from pizza to fish. They are also open in the evenings. Mamma’s Café is a locally-run eatery, with hearty portions and some fantastic deals each week. |

The Kikau Hut in Arorangi is a popular place for those who wish to kick back, relax and enjoy the taste of real home cooking. Kathie, one of the owners, will always be there with a welcoming smile and a lot of sass! The Windjammer Restaurant (right next door to Dive Rarotonga) is great for fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere, serving world class Pacific/European cuisine. Da Carlo is a fabulous choice for Italian. Run by Roberta and Carlo, the small, intimate setting of this restaurant never fails to recreate the romance of Italia right here in the tropics! To give you a few ideas of how to plan your time on Rarotonga, here is a timetable of the places to be. |
