Rarotonga is the largest and most populated of the 15 Cook Islands. Home to the International Airport, 90% of tourists stay here for their entire holiday. The Polynesian island is only 62 sq. km in size and is one of the most developed in the South Pacific with good amenities and tourist infrastructure. Mountain views are stunning all around Rarotonga. Mopeds are the most popular way to travel. Apart from the mountains and beaches, the Cook Islands has some good scuba diving sites, excellent game-fishing and visiting humpback whales from July to October.

Rarotonga rises from the coast into several attractive peaks, the tallest being 653 metres. Mountain scenes can be viewed from the coastal road right around Rarotonga and there are several valley roads which make excellent walking treks into the rainforest. Several guides offer walking and nature tours as well as 4WD and mountain bike excursions. Rarotonga is a very popular holiday destination. The volcanic island is surrounded by a fringing coral reef with lots of shallow lagoons, good snorkelling spots and clean sandy beaches. The air and sea temperature is warm year round with higher temperatures and rainfall in the tropical summer months of December to April.
