A magic place
Rarotonga is the largest of the Cook Islands, a nation of 15 islands in the central South Pacific. Volcanic peaks, ridges and rainforest dominate its interior. A 32km, round-the-island road links the beaches, coastal lagoon and reefs.
Rarotonga is often referred to as the emerald jewel of the Pacific. With its jagged peaks and deep valleys, fertile slopes of red earth and sparkling aquamarine lagoon, it is the classic 19th century ideal of paradise.
Rarotonga is blessed with white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and an abundance of aquatic life just below the surface. Enjoy swimming and snorkelling in the safe and protected lagoon or adventure beyond the reef on a scuba diving trip or fishing charter.
Breathtaking jungle-clad mountains cascade to the sea. Explore the interior by foot, scooter or car and discover a world of untouched lush green vegetation or stumble upon a manicured garden and café! A ‘Cross Island’ hike is a must do for the fit and adventurous.
Cook Islanders are a cosmopolitan blend of western influence and ancient Polynesian heritage. Warm smiles and hospitality come naturally. Experience an ‘Island Night’ cultural show where history and traditions are brought to life through music, song & dance and food.
