Rarotonga - Island Paradise

Rarotonga is part of the Cook Islands and is a favoured destination for tourists from New Zealand and Australia. Set in the Pacific Ocean, it is the largest of the Cook Islands but still small enough to drive around in less than an hour - and that's at the top speed of 50 kmh! Favoured activities include snorkelling, cultural evenings and zipping around the island on scooters. The white coral beaches, transparent water and swaying palms give a sense of calm and peace and the underwater world of colourful fish is a top attraction. Pack your swimming gear, sunscreen, insect repellent and relax!
