Cook Islands Activities

The Cook Islands is geared up to tourism and most aspects of sightseeing are covered on Rarotonga. The main attractions are scuba diving and cruises, exploring the mountains and circle island culture and orientation tours. Air Rarotonga provide aerial sightseeing tours and for a more thrilling ride, tandem micro flights are available.

Some of the more appealing mountain tours include guided walks with local legend "Pa" whose knowledge of the environment and medicinal uses of the flora around him is exceptional. Pa also leads 4-hour strenuous hikes across the mountainous centre of island. For conservationists, the Takitumu Nature Reserve is home to the endangered kerikori bird and guided walks are available several days a week.

Scuba diving is the most popular water sport on the island and there are always good diving conditions around the island. Sailing tours and deep sea game fishing around Rarotonga are available.
