Aranui Day Dance Performance (Hakahau)

9° 21.7′ S · 140° 2.9′ W · approximate

When the Aranui freighter-cruise ship calls, Hakahau usually puts on a dance performance next to the mairie, and the shops restock.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: the mairie area (OpenStreetMap). Migration (Dec 2022) reported the performances. The Aranui calls about every 3 weeks; stores are best stocked just after it. Keep clear of the quay, and expect the anchorage to be squeezed on ship days. Schedule: aranui.com.

Best for

Free culture and fresh stock on ship day
