What Cook Islanders are most proud about is their culture - experience the ultimate island night with Polynesian Food & Dance at the Silversands Restaurant located at the Muri Beach Club Hotel.  Great value at $59pp  Top performers, in fact one of the best dance troupes on the island Akirata Performing Arts Troupe are an excellent show with AMAZING costume.  As a bonus there is also a fantastic fire dance show.  The buffet feast features island delicasies such as Ika Mata (raw fish with lime and coconut cream), Rukau (island spinach cooked in coconut cream) Poke (a sweet doughy dish made from coconut and banana) as well as seafood and non seafood options - the best part is that 90% of the buffet is gluten free!  Phone: 23000 to book or email: info@muribeachclubhotel.com in advance to secure your spot

The market comes to life on a Saturday with arts, crafts, fresh fruit and vegetables, and food galore cooked to your liking.  Available from 7am-12noon, and if you are lucky there is normally a performance around 10am.  For those not here on a Saturday, there are night markets in Muri, although please note these are mainly food based, where as the Avarua one is on a much larger scale.  Please note that town does close early on a Saturday, but the supermarkets are open until 4pm.  The market is approximately a 20minute walk from the villa and buses are available if need be

This is a walk you can do on your own or with a guide, although we recommend with a guide as transport on both ends are pre arranged and you get to learn about the flora and fauna of the island with spectacular views at certain points.  This requires a reasonable fitness and will take approximately 3 - 3.5 hours.  There is also a nature walk that is a lot less streneous.  The tracks marked off on the map may be over grown, so please inform someone if you are indeed venturing off on the unknown.  Also it is recommended to take mosquito repellant as well as a bottle of water and a snack.  Long sleave may be a good idea to keep the bugs at bay.
