The Highland Paradise Cultural Tour takes you high up into the rugged mountains of Rarotonga to an open-air museum, showcasing evidence of a historical lost village and the survival of the Polynesian people. The tour allows visitors to relive Polynesian life, including demonstrations of cultural activities such as coconut husking and traditional cooking.
This experience allows visitors to wander through the center at their own pace, taking in the entertaining DVD theater, souvenir shop and, best of all, the tasting of local delicacies.
