The Little Polynesian is surrounded
with the kind of natural beauty that the South Pacific is
renowned for. Clear blue skies, a turquoise lagoon, calm waters
and a temperate climate make it ideal for a number of water-based
activities including swimming, snorkelling, diving, sport and
game fishing, and kayaking. Titikaveka on the southeastern
side of Rarotonga, where the Little Polynesian is based is
renowned for its fishing.
Other activities include hiking, pony trekking, cultural tours,
bird-watching tours, scenic flights, golf, tennis, squash
and lawn bowls. Special events and festivals, which are held
throughout the year, can be a fun time to plan your visit.
Cook
Islands Cultural Shows
Long considered the finest Polynesian
dancers, one thing that you notice about Cook Islands dancers
is their complete harmony with the music. Some performers
dance for the crowd, others for the obligation, but Cooks
troupes dance strictly for the love of music and dance and
it shows with every single drumbeat. Cook Islanders and
their love of dance and music is so deeply integrated with
life's essential moments and a cultural show will leave you
with a lasting memory not just of an island celebration but
a way of life.
