Volunteers

Get ready to dive into the heart of the Cook Islands’ biggest sporting celebration—Vaka Eiva! This November, Rarotonga will come alive with the thrill of outrigger canoe racing, and we need enthusiastic volunteers to make it happen.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is your chance to be part of something truly special. From assisting with race logistics at Avarua Harbour to cheering on paddlers in the Muri Lagoon sprint races, your energy and support will help create an unforgettable experience for competitors and spectators alike.

No experience is necessary—just a love for community, culture, and a bit of fun under the Pacific sun!

Volunteering at Vaka Eiva isn’t just about lending a hand; it’s about joining a vibrant celebration of Cook Islands heritage. Imagine being part of the action as teams from across the globe tackle the Round Raro Relay or the Iron races, all while soaking in the island’s laid-back vibe. You could help with timing, set up cultural events, or even assist with the Boiler Swim fundraiser—every role makes a difference.

Plus, you’ll get a front-row seat to the excitement, connect with people from all over, and leave with memories that last a lifetime. Sign up today and paddle into the spirit of Vaka Eiva!
