Introduction to Tauhunu, Cook Islands

Tauhunu is the main village and administrative center of Avarua, the capital of the Cook Islands, located on the northern coast of Rarotonga in the South Pacific. As the political and economic hub of the archipelago, it is home to a concentration of government agencies, banks and commercial facilities and has a population of approximately 5,000.

Natural and Cultural Features

With its backdrop of verdant volcanic mountains and facing a turquoise lagoon, Tauhunu retains a traditional Polynesian flavor. The weekly Saturday Punanganui Market is a popular place to experience local handicrafts, black pearls and fresh coconuts, while the Cook Islands Christian Church, built in 1849, bears witness to colonial history.

Tours & Activities

Visitors can experience water activities such as snorkeling and kayaking, or explore the waterfalls and plantations by riding along the ring road. Known for its relaxed regulations and friendly atmosphere, English and Maori are the common languages and the New Zealand dollar is the currency.
