The largest of the 12 Cook Islands, Rarotonga is nevertheless small. But it sure packs a lot into those 68 square kilometres! Visitors can bask on palm-fringed beaches, snorkel in sparkling lagoons, trek through rainforests and savour sunsets from a hammock. Take a Rarotonga private tour and explore this Cook Island with a local guide. The people of the Cook Islands maintain their tribal culture through arts and crafts, and your guide can arrange visits to see woodcarvers, pearl farmers and ukulele-makers in their workshops and homes. In Avarua, dive into the Punanga Nui market to browse handicrafts and sample local delicacies, then jump in your guide's van for a circumnavigation of the island, taking in the view from the summit of Rangimotia. Rarotonga has beaches to suit everyone, and your guide will know the best stretch of sand for you. Families will love Muri, a protected bay, while the adventurous should head for Aitutaki, to paddle in a triangular blue lagoon.
