Cook Islands Travel Guide
Rarotonga Island - the main island
Rarotonga travel is a unique experience - the island is extremely beautiful and small enough to explore with lush
tropical mountains, pretty coastal scenes, sandy beaches and a very slow pace of life. The island takes under an
hour to drive around so all sites are accessable wherever you choose to stay.
Avarua Town on the north coast, minutes from the international airport, is the administration centre of the Cook
Islands. It’s a good place to stay if you want to make a base for exploring the island and as it does not have a
swimming beach, properties in and around town are much cheaper than elsewhere. Muri Beach on the east coast
is the busiest stretch for tourism on the island and has lots of beach activities, restaurants, beach bars and crowds
on Sundays when the locals get together. The south coast is very quiet with only a scattering of small beach
bungalows and vacation homes. The beaches here are very picturesque and snorkelling is generally excellent - this
is a great choice…
