The most beautiful places on the island of Rarotonga
The best of Rarotonga
Rarotonga is the largest island of the French Polynesia-like Cook Islands. On Rarotonga you will find an interior covered with wild mountain jungle. In addition, sandy beaches with photogenic motu islands. Let's see which places to visit here
Muri beach
The most beautiful beach on Rarotonga
The southeast end of Rarotonga Island near Muri is a tranquil Pacific Paradise – a whitewashed beach, lagoon, coconut palm trees and overgrown coral island motus. Fortunately, the accommodation capacities on the beach are not over-sized, so there is not an extreme flush. It's just an ideal place for a few days of relaxation. continue reading
View of Jehla
The most iconic mountain of the Cook Islands

Koromiri motu islet
Excursion island near Muri beach
Koromiri motu is a small island just opposite the famous Muri Beach. Thanks to its sandy beach, it is very popular among tourists. Everyone swims or kayaks to it from Muri beach. Boat trips are also popular, where a side dish is grilled. You can walk to Koromiri motu at low tide even with a camera in hand, if you have a sure step and are not afraid that you might wash it. The other side of the motu is filled with piles of old coral and views of the end of the lagoon with some pretty big waves crashing against it. continue reading
Maungatea Bluff
