Paradise dream destination
In the heart of the Pacific Ocean lie the remote Cook Islands, a paradisiacal archipelago of tropical islands of which the picture-perfect Rarotonga is the main island. It is home to pearly white sandy beaches, coral-rich lagoons and mountainous, green jungle-clad interior. Add a rich cultural history and relaxed lifestyle and you have all the ingredients for a dream destination. Where the world can't find you...
Highlights just steps away
Rarotonga is the largest island in the archipelago, but with a total circumference of only 32 kilometers, all the highlights are just a stone's throw away from each other. For example, combine sea scooter adventures among the colorful corals and fish in the Muri Lagoon with a visit to the lively night market, and end the steep jungle hike across the Cross-Island trek to the rugged rock formations of the The Needle with a swim in the hidden Papua waterfall.
Polynesian culture in Avarua
In addition to its abundant natural splendor, Rarotonga has a vibrant Polynesian culture reflected in music, dance and art. Visit capital city Avarua and enjoy traditional Maori performances, local crafts and the friendly hospitality of the locals.
