Cook Islands Natural Environment

Rarotonga would have to be my favourite destination in the south pacific. It is always beautiful weather and has the most magnificent beaches and snorkelling. Remember to take along coral shoes as this will be of use. Best restaurant in Rarotonga would be Sails on Muri side, awesome food, excellent location, cocktails to die for and quite resonably priced especially for what you recieve. The Rarotongans are the most friendliest people you are in their beautiful country so respect it. Easiest way to get round Raro is on scooters however if there is 3 or more of you it will work out cheaper to get a small lil pop top car. beware you do need a rarotonga drivers license to drive there you get them in Avarua at the police station and are around $10 nzd however this can take several hours to do so make sure you dont have anything planned that day as you can't rush Island Time.

Rarotonga is not really what I call Wheelchair accessible, the buses are vans and as I remember it they had no hoists.
The currency is done in NZ$.
Food is good, weather hot so drink lots of water and Coconut milk.

There is a lot of activities and the cultural shows is a must

Make sure you stay more than 5 days. The weather is pretty unpredictable!  Don't stay at the main island, take a trip to the smaller islands, it's a once in a lifetime upportunaty!
