3Patty
The guide on the party bus could of more active getting us into the party mood when he pick us up Plus I got told in my email we would get to choose between a shot glass or a subbie holder. We didn't get that We just got given a wine glass that light up.
2Disappointing for hefty price
Not what was expected for hefty price and really disappointed. No stubby holder or beer option - just a blue syrup ‘cocktail’. When showed this was clearly included they would not honour it. Host gave good instructions re leaving times etc but was not in any way tasked with ensuring everyone had a good time on the bus - she was on her phone the whole time. The clear vibe of the bigger bus (it left as we arrived at each bar) was sadly non-existent on ours.
4Party bus Experience
You have to do the party bus regardless. You go bar hopping! Receive a 1 free cocktail at the first bar, nibbles at the second bar, the other 2 bars you drink & dance.
5Night out in Rarotonga
It was good experience going on this. Met some NZers of my age and enjoyed the music and enthusiasm on the bus. Met others from other countries. It was a good opportunity to go to 4 venues with a group of other people.
5Fantastic fun
Great fun. A must do when visiting Rarotonga. Only recommendation is to take a jacket if it is a bit cool as bus is open.
4Party.
Only a smaller group but lots of fun and we were well looked after.

About Avarua
Avarua, capital of the Cook Islands, is a small harbour town on Rarotonga's north coast, with a whitewashed church, a Saturday market and a ring road.
Avarua is the capital of the Cook Islands, on the north coast of Rarotonga, the largest island of the group. The name means two harbours in Māori. Missionaries of the London Missionary Society arrived in 1823, and the whitewashed Cook Islands Christian Church stands among the town's central streets. The islands became a British protectorate in 1888 and later part of New Zealand, and since 1965 they have governed themselves in free association with New Zealand.
