The island consists of an interior made up of volcanic cloud draped mountains enveloped by dense tropical rain forest and surrounded by a lushly vegetated coastal plain that houses majority of the population and farming land. The main township of Avarua is located in the north east of the island and is the commercial centre, home to most of the government departments, the shipping port and is close to the airport.

Romance is Rarotonga’s middle name – imagine waking to the soft cool tropical breeze sweeping across the protected luminous aqua waters of the lagoon. By day, miles of white sandy beaches to explore, many you will have to yourself. And by night, world class restaurants, bars and nightspots for your wining, dining and dancing pleasure.
