Guide

Our Intrepid Guide

Like most of the Cook Island guys I met, our guide was a big flirt with a great sense of humor.

He gave us the insider's tour, with amusing anecdotes about the history of tribal conflicts, and the subsequent settlement of the Cooks.

Landscape

This rock is one of the dominant features on the island, which kind of sets the theme.
Spirit of Tangaroa

Tangaroa

It's a, um, very romantic place. You should see their carvings of Tangaroa, the Cook Islanders' equivalent of a Tiki. Of course, they scoff at Tikis, 'those eunuchs!"

View of Muri Lagoon

Driving on around the mountain, you'll get a spectacular view of Muri Lagoon, the favorite resort end of the island.
