Rarotonga and Aitutaki is where you will find the perfect combination of laid back, down to earth places and people, where you’ll feel like you belong as soon as you arrive. It’s all about the ‘feeling’, where you can be swimming in the lagoon, sipping on a cocktail, taking off on a scooter adventure or relaxing poolside at your beautiful resort. It’s a playground where you can get out and about, visit the local cafes and restaurants, snorkel from deserted beaches and of course enjoy a beverage, or two, at one of the many beach cafes. It’s all so very easy!
Rarotonga:
Just 32 kilometres around, it’s the size of the island that makes Raro so different. Many visitors hire bikes, motor scooters or cars to get around and visit restaurants and cafes, or a different beach anytime they wish. There’s also a regular bus service going clockwise and anticlockwise around the island. Surrounded by a stunning blue lagoon with most accommodation on the water’s edge, means you can stay in your resort and enjoy everything it has to offer, or take part in any of the numerous activities and cultural experiences available.
Aitutaki:
If you thought you had slowed down and found paradise in Raro, just wait until you visit Aitutaki. Often referred to as Heaven on Earth, and just a 50 minute flight north of Raro, and where to go to get away from it all and enjoy the ultimate escape.
Aitutaki’s lagoon is considered one of the most magnificent in the world. Its crystal-clear waters brim with tropical fish and its pristine beaches are private and secluded. Aitutaki also has world class restaurants, island nights and some fun casual places to meet up with locals.
