Friday Night Fever Friday night is traditionally Island Night – or party night. Cook Islanders’ fun means music and dance and the dancing has to be seen to be believed. There are mighty warriors, garlands of flowers, grass skirts and high-octane energy – and you’re usually asked to join in at the end. The Cook Islanders are generally recognised as the best dancers in the Pacific and you’ll soon see why. For more on Polynesian culture, recommend a visit to Highland Paradise, the Cook Islands cultural centre. There’s a marae (sacred meeting place) and you are led by a guide in traditional warrior dress through the story of the original journey here by vaka (double hulled canoe) 1000 years ago.
Aitutaki: Desert Island Dreaming For a real desert island experience head for Aitutaki, a short local flight from Rarotonga; it's probably the most beautiful lagoon in the world. Aitutaki is almost all lagoon, a huge triangular expanse of luminous water ranging from opalescent blue to deepest emerald and filled with beautiful coral and shoals of exotic fish that feed from your hand. There are bright blue starfish,
giant clams and in season hawksbill turtles. You can go for just a day and take a lagoon cruise with snorkelling, walks on uninhabited motus (islets) and a beach barbeque. If you stay, there are starry nights and the Cooks’ only five- star property – Pacific Resort.
