Only 2km from the farm you find famous Muri beach with it's motus (small islands), and sandy shores. Muri is like a "mini town" with resorts, restaurants, cafes, entertainment, the famous night market. You can just walk there or use our bicycles. The public bus, that stops just 300m down the road, runs every hour.
For Saturday we recommend a visit to the islands Market in Main town Avarua. You will find a large variety of local food, home made goodies and cultural entertainment. Try the "Maroro Tunutunu", the grilled Flying fish. It's a local favorite!
