Rarotonga


I have just returned back to chilly Christchurch after 5 days in Rarotonga.
We arrived Tuesday morning at 2 am where we were picked up from the airport and taken to The Cooks Oasis Villas where we spent our first night. We spent the remaining 4.5 nights at Manea Beach Villas overlooking the amazing Muri Beach.
Although we were in Rarotonga for a short break we managed to pack in quite a few activities.
Some things I would recommend include:

• Hiring a scooter and travelling around the island 
• Snorkeling at Fruits of Raro
• Stand up paddle boarding on Muri Beach
• Eating delicious pastries at LBV in Muri Beach  
• Visiting the Saturday market for breakfast
• Climbing to The Needle rock-beware very steep but amazing views!
• Island night cultural show at Highland Paradise

If I ever return to Rarotonga (I hope I do) I have herd that a trip to Aitutaki is a must
