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!
