Very very enjoyable. We usually avoid ‘tourist shows’ but the website looked interesting so we went, and had a great time. We chose the show and dinner package. The food was delicious and there was plenty on offer. The show was slick, the performers young, energetic and the story was informative.

We did the Village tour, dinner, show combo. I was worried that it would be too commercial. But, no way. It was awesome. The guide was very knowledgeable and a true descendant ot Rarotongan origin, the food was plentiful, acknowledging local traditions,and the performers looked as if they enjoyed showing off their skills. Loved it.

The excellent buffet dinner was very tasty, with a large variety of dishes offered. With three restaurants around the pool/stage area, everyone got a wonderful view of the simply great show that followed dinner. The drumming and dancing was terrific!

We did the Te Vara Nui Combo Extravaganza with the Village tour, Dinner and Show -all worthwhile. The Village tour was very informative and we learned a lot about Rarotonga history, flora & fauna, fishing and village life. The woman running the tour certainly wore a lot of hats as she was doing all talks, then later announcing the performers for the show. She definitely could have used some help! The dinner featured many traditional Polynesian dishes including the purple potato salad (yum!), pork, barbecue chicken, rice and various salads and many desserts. As is the Cook Island tradition children are served first, then the ladies, then the men. Anyone with a birthday, anniversary or special occasion was recognized. The show was really quite well done. We have traveled through Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji but this was one of the best we've seen. Perhaps on par or slightly better than the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. The dancers on the rafts in the water was a nice touch as was the fire show. Everyone seemed to have a good view from their seats in the pavilions. I get the feeling this is a relatively new venue for Rarotonga but hopefully one that will stick around for a long time! Bravo!

This was by far the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga. The entire evening from 5.45 pm to late was one of the best experiences and memories we could take home with us. The show itself was spectacular and that includes the MC, drumming, costumes, dances, and choreography. Added to this the atmosphere of the entire venue was superb. Great buffet with abundant choice of entre, mains, dessert and more was excellent. Although, the drinks were not included in the ticket price, all drinks were very reasonably priced.

We purchased the Te Vara Nui combo - and glad we did. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour prior to dinner. It was very informative.. and gave us history of the islands, the people, travel via sea, and the use of the popular coconut in the islands. So much information imparted by Ruth. This was followed by a buffet meal, before the amazing show. The setting around the “lake” was just beautiful, and gave everyone a great opportunity to-view the show. It’s the only show we are going to on our holiday here. It was totally professional run business.

This was the last of our excursions, and it was a wonderful presentation. The history of the Cook Islands brought to life on stage. Dancers, music, and an understanding of how the settlement of the area occurred long before the missionaries landed. Oh, and the food was delicious 😋

Our Family went to the fabulous Te Vara Nui Village. We were spellbound by the show, it was truly amazing. So much energy. The compere was wonderful and the performers fantastic. The food and drinks were wonderful and you could always go back for more food if you wanted too. We highly recommend a visit to this wonderful show. Get your photo taken at the end, it's a real treat. We enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. Fantastic Staff also, very friendly and welcoming.

The venue is right next door to Muri Beach Club Hotel. The evening starts with an intro into local culture, then an excellent buffet meal. Service is good with very pleasant staff. Follows is a live cultural show with traditional dancing. Quite stupendous!

An extremely well run experience. What a wonderful way to spend New years Eve. The buffet was excellent and the show wonderful. Excellent performers. The transport to and from the village was perfect. Thank you
