cook islands cultural village

Great way to get an insight on how the natives live. The food was awesome and great nights entertainment! i even managed to get pulled up on stage to take part in some activities. Great night out and highly recommend.

Picked up at the time said and taken to the Village where on arrival a glass of bubbles was given to everyone. Then a wonderful tour and talk on all the Cook Islands history. Went into huts that have been built saw lots from medicines to weapons copies of canoes ceremonial costumes.Learnt so much about the Cook Island people and history. Then we went to dinner and it was superb. After the main meal the show on a stage over the water began. Dancing girls drummers men with fire. A wonderful show everything was perfect. Dessert was served after the show and again top notch. Photos taken and then transported home. I would recommend this eveningto anyone going to the Cook Islands

amazing fascinating funny clever - there's not enough words to describe this must do visit - seriously!

We enjoyed all of it...!!Approximately $100 each, we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the end of the evening, in an open air bus, nice relaxing start!Meet with a complimentary drink, we were guided through different parts of Cook Islands heritage, culture, day to day life, food and was superbly presented with terrific artefacts, entrancing storytelling and provided something for all ages....Dinner and show, well just fabulous!! Sounds, colour, rhythm, the music, the drums, dancing (men and women). Great location allowed viewing of the night's entertainment from all angles. The food was plentiful, well presented and deliciousA definite must see for those who enjoy cultural and heritage tours....We highly recommend it!!!

This is in my opinion, one of the two must do activities , while in Rarotonga. The cultural show, and the meal, (especially the cooked taro leaves), are two things not to miss.

This was a very nice evening. The cultural village tour was very interesting. The village staff were very accommodating and allowed plenty of time for questions. Quite informative. The dinner show was spectacular! The dancing is amazing! (How do they do that!?) The food was very good and the staff very friendly with attentive drink service. The over the water setting very nice.

A fine group of young adults presented a 'Kava bowl' ceremony and local dancing with great enthusiasm. A very enjoyable hour

Well worth the visit. We found it informative, entertaining and friendly. Highly recommended. A really good night out.

This was the most memorable and wonderful experience. We loved it. The presentation is very professional and certainly a must see for any visitor. Great service, wonderful entertainment, great food with some great island food to try. Talented performers who seem to love sharing their culture and heritage with you. Had a wonderful night and got to meet some lovely people. Would gladly do it again.

A very uplifing experience, from the moment you board the bus! Food was unique, very tasty, entertainment exciting. Everyone involved lived and breathed their culture! Fantastic!!!

Great service, great entertainment, great food, so well presented and heaps for everyone. Amazing venue. Didn't feel jammed in but heaps of people were there.

We liked the enthusiastic & educational presentation of cultural information and were impressed by the exceptional friendliness displayed.

If you are going to spend the dollars for the dinner (which was great) and dance show (which was fun), make sure you pay the extra money and take the time to do the village cultural tour before. It adds a lot to the experience and sets the show into an important cultural context.

This hidden gem is found high in the hills behind the beach and lagoon. Surrounded by lush tropical garden that are beautifully kept, the village displays a variety of historical artefacts and buildings that were an integral part of the history and lifestyle of the Cook Islanders. A most enlightening trip that combines lunch and a display of dancing, music and history

This is an amazing dinner and show with fire dancers and dancing telling the story of arriving in Rarotonga 10/10 for this night best on the island
