Rarotonga bus guide

The current timetable, live-tracking pathway and how to use the island's clockwise and anti-clockwise buses.

Current public routes

Cook's Island Bus currently operates two public routes around Rarotonga: Clockwise and Anti-Clockwise. The current published timetable shows the Clockwise service leaving Cooks' Corner in Avarua hourly from 7am to 10pm Monday to Saturday.

Anti-clockwise and Sunday

The current Anti-Clockwise timetable shows half-past-the-hour departures from Avarua during the day, Monday to Saturday. Sunday is a reduced Clockwise-only service. Always check the official timetable on the day you travel because service changes and public-holiday arrangements happen.

Live tracking

The operator currently uses TransportMe for live tracking. Their instructions direct passengers to select Cook's Island Bus Passenger Transport LTD, choose Clockwise or Anti-Clockwise, then start tracking to see the live bus location and stops.
