Day 1 Fly USA to Rarotonga

Day 2 Welcome to Rarotonga, Cook Islands
You will be met after clearing customs and immigration, and transferred to your accommodation.

A net of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India with a population no bigger than a small New Zealand country town, 14,000 souls. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own language and government and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island.

Day 3 Island discovery tour
Take a 3 hour orientation journey around the fascinating island of Rarotonga to experience the sights, culture and history of a people and place.  Observe coconut husking demonstrations, learn about the many uses the coconut has in the Cook Island society. Stops during the tour allow the opportunity to experience Cook Island local arts, craft and perfumes.

Days 4-6 At leisure, Rarotonga
Rarotonga offers much for lovers of the sea, including lagoon cruises, sports fishing, diving and sailing. The lagoon is a focal point of interest for visitors to Rarotonga

Not to be missed is Sunday morning service at one of the many churches distributed around the island. Most visitors exposed for the first time to Cook Islands hymn singing are astonished at the power of the voices and the quality of the harmony. The men turn out in their Sunday best and the women are always immaculate in their stiff ‘rito’ hats made of young coconut fiber.

Also not to be missed is the market on the waterfront at the western end of Avarua. This is open every day except Sunday. But on Saturday morning it hums since everyone on the island seems to be there. Stalls sell food, drinks and crafts and there is often a competition for local singers to show off their talents.
