Go to the Fruits of Rarotonga for the best snorkeling on the Island

Our Son got married in the Cook Islands in Feb 2000. The people of Rarotonga made the wedding the most special time of all our lives.

Highlight to this trip was attening a Cook Islands Catholic Church service. It was beautiful. The service was in Maori and they sang like crazy!

I'll always remember picking coconuts and other fresh fruit and eating it while sitting out in the warm evening air.

Make sure you do the cross island trek/hike and be sure togo to church on sunday ( i didn't) but I hear its really fab they sing amazingly well (Peter the German video taped it!) and lots of free food.

Be sure to take time to talk with the locals, if you're into the toursity things see and Island Night Dance show and eat lots of paw-paw (papaya)

Pictures will have to wait until i get home in June..

Rarotonga is a relaxing holiday away from the stresses of everyday life - it is not packed full of tourist activities and it is the simple things that are the most enjoyable like walking along the beach early in the morning or snorkelling in the calm waters enclosed within the protective reef.

The thing I love best about the Cook Islands are the people, particularly the children, who are always smiling and laughing.

When in the Cook Islands you must rent a scooter and travel the Island, it is the only way to see the all of the beaches and the rural areas. $10.00 Canadian you can't go wrong.You must do some snorkelling in the clear blue waters that are full of tropical fish.
The picture is near the Raratonga beach resort you dont have to be a guest to enjoy the beach here.

The best memory I have is sitting on the patio at the Edgewater Resort watching the sunset.

	Take it easy

Sleep in late

by easterntrekker, 3 more photos

I think the best way to really enjoy Rarotonga is to take it easy . Keep your plans loose. The weather here changes with no notice. It can go from sunny and bright to cloudy and windy in minutes.....its a little island in the middle of the ocean. It's best to decide like that , what you want to do....maybe sleep in late ....and wake to the sounds of the roosters...that constantly crow ...anytime of day. A great passtime is to put on yor snorkel and float around in the lagoon . You really don't have to swim ...you can just float and watch the beautiful fish swim around you.
