Description
Tucked away at the northern tip of Muri Lagoon, Avana Harbour is a peaceful waterfront spot with still waters and an almost mystical calm, especially at sunrise. Jetties along the shoreline provide the perfect backdrop for stunning early-morning photography, while the harbour is also home to a significant vaka migration site, where Polynesian voyagers once set sail. A must-visit for history lovers and photographers alike, Avana Harbour offers a quiet yet meaningful glimpse into Rarotonga’s past.
