Cook Islands

The Garden of Eden took more than a little inspiration from the natural beauty of the Cook Islands. At the Maire Nui Botanical Gardens, lush greenery is a foil for an abundant wonderland of bright tropical flowers. Yellow and red hibiscus, pandanus and flowering ginger look and smell wonderful in this non-profit garden. The Tiare Festival runs in November, the floral festival week features many float parades with flowers adorning the floats. But in spring the entire island of Rarotonga is a colourful garden, so you don’t have to wait for the Tiare Flower Festival!
