1. RE-DISCOVER THE ROMANTIC IN YOU
Rarotonga has a centre of high mountains clothed in lush rainforest and fringed by miles of white sand beaches. Drift into a deep sleep to the sound of the waves pounding on the distant coral reef, whilst swaying in your hammock. Awake refreshed to stroll along the beach hand in hand, as you sip a fresh papaya (pawpaw) juice.
2. EXCHANGE YOUR VOWS OR HONEYMOON ON RAROTONGA
For the ultimate in romance exchange your vows on a long, sandy white beach lapped by Rarotonga’s beautiful Lagoon of Love (Aroa Lagoon). Be surrounded by island serenaders, fragrant garlands, the soft popping of champagne bubbles and the golden light of the setting sun as you celebrate TheBigDay. For your truly memorable way to say "I do". Whether a wedding, honeymoon or renewal, sharing it in Rarotonga is the essence of romance.
3. EXPERIENCE THE UNDERWATER WONDERLAND
At Aroa Lagoon marine sanctuary (in front of The Rarotongan Beach Resort) you can walk straight in off the beach and snorkel in an underwater wonderland amongst rainbow-colored angel, parrot, butterfly, wrasses and Picasso fish, protected naturally by the coral reef. Simply amazing! At Muri Lagoon Captain Tama’s Lagoon Cruises offer glass-bottom boat trips, off-boat snorkeling and a beach BBQ on a deserted isle. And PADI & NAUI-qualified dive operators offer excellent ocean diving over the reef in warm, crystal clear waters with 100ft (30m) visibility amongst rays, whales, sharks and turtles.
4. TASTE THE CULTURE
At a ‘Legends of Polynesia’ Island Night at The Rarotongan Beach Resort witness the opening of the traditional underground oven, the umu, then delight in the sumptuous umukai feast of such favorites as succulent island pork, lamb and game fish slow cooked to perfection, rukau (taro greens), eke (octopus curry), ika mata (fresh game fish in coconut cream), and poke (pronounced po-kay, banana pudding). Top island troupes then drum and dance the night away with unforgettable energy and passion.
5. TAKE TO THE HILLS
Head into the lush rainforest interior to hear the island’s ancient stories and learn about traditional plants either on 4WD with Raro Mountain Safari Tours or on foot with guide Pa. Hike into the Takitumu Conservation Area to see one of the world’s rarest little birds, the endangered kakerori, or simply set off from The Rarotongan to explore the waterfall, villages, plantations, back country roads and beaches.
6. EXPLORE THE ISLAND
Bike, walk, drive a jeep, go on horseback, take the circle island bus, hire a scooter, take a scenic flight or a guided historical tour. Points of historical interest include Ngatangiia Harbour where the Great Migration of Maori departed in vakas (great outrigger canoes) to settle New Zealand, the Great Road of Toi built of coral by the ancient chief Toi and the present-day palaces of the chiefs. A great memento of your trip is your Cook Islands’ drivers license, which you pick up at the central police station in Avarua.
7. LET YOUR SPIRIT SOAR
Take in the soaring harmonies, white coral and limestone churches and fine rito hats at a Sunday morning church service. Moving and memorable.
