Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- claire084ayr10 contributionsThe museum was very interesting and worth visiting. My sister and I would go most afternoons to the cafe attached to the museum for the great coffee...so good. The young man who made the coffee was lovely and always so polite. Good museum and cafe.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Denyse WWellington, New Zealand94 contributionsIf you are interested in local history then this is worth a visit and gives you an understanding of the Ariki on Rarotonga and particulary of Pa Ariki of Takitumu. We took the full guided tour and were there for over an hour. At $25 it was probably at the pricy end but there was a cheaper tour for $18 which didnt include the native and medicinal plants and a browse with no tour for $10. In hindsight the $18 tour would suffice, certainly just browsing does not enable you to get an understanding of who the people were and how they connected.Written 15 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cheryl BWellington, New Zealand13 contributionsLike many museums in small countries this one is also small. However the building is relatively spacious and the exhibits presented well.
The exhibition on missionary activity was interesting (sequential development on each island) and I loved the beautiful kumete (bowls) nearby.
I was a bit hot from walking around this precinct so my visit was short due to a need for a swim but it was useful and I learned some new things about the Cooks.
Definitely worth a visit but don’t expect a Te Papa experience.Written 30 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
