- Circle-island buses operate around the coast in both directions – clockwise and anticlockwise. They depart from Cook´s Corner in Avarua and run every hour in each direction to approximately 4pm, later much less frequently.
32 km long road leading along the coast is known as the Ara Tapu (Sacred Rd). Second largest road connecting the interior is the Ara Metua (Ancient Rd). The island´s interior can be crossed only on foot.
Caution: People drive on the left in Cook Islands!
