A favourite with the locals – Every Thursday enjoy our Takurua “Special Feast” – this is your chance to savour some true Aitutaki flavours. Then enjoy a performance of Cook Islands song, dance, fire dancing and more from our talented and dynamic cultural group TE AITO.

The fun starts at 6:30pm. Enjoy a cocktail, wine or beer as you listen to LIVE music from the Te Aito Stringband. From 7pm, dine on island-inspired cuisine (buffet dinner) followed by a delicious tropical dessert selection.

Watch the sun melt beyond the horizon, looking over the sparkling Aitutaki lagoon before the excitement of our traditional Fire and Dance Show! Our Cultural Dance Show starts at 8.30pm “Aitutaki time.

Dressed in traditional costume, watch as these fascinating traditional dancers take you on a mesmerising journey through the South Pacific. Tamanu’s performers will captivate you with authentic dance, beautiful costumes, hand clapping and singing. Watch while the warrior men dance with fire to the upbeat rhythm of Pacifica drums, as the Cook Island women move gracefully singing in sweet harmony. You can even give it a go yourself!
