The Escape Artist's Rarotonga travel guide

In just one or two days you can enjoy the magical beauty of this big little islands by coach, bicycle, car or roller coaster. The tour of the islands is simply wonderful at every corner of the street. There' s only one major street around the isle, so you can't get wandering off with a selection of two; one goes counterclockwise and the other counter-clockwise.

There is no better way to make you think you are on a great laid-back isle. And if the heaven you are discovering is not enough for you, you can immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauties of the interior of Rarotonga. If you are more aware of the environment (which we are hoping you are), you can take part in eco-biking trips with stories told by locals.

About Rarotonga travel guide

Arriving in Rarotonga, we were greeted cordially with a french pani li i and then rushed to the resortshuttle. In February we travelled to Rarotonga during the "Off/Wet" time.

There were a few cloudy nights and a little more winds than usually for the isle ('cause there was a storm at the moment we were driving), but it was still a pleasant 28°C on most nights. The mornings we explored the archipelago by roller and when it was raining we swam in the resorts swimming pools, snorkeled in the lake and drank (one too many) drinks.

I had most of my morning's fruits, the most astonishing creams of chocolate that I will ever have dreamed of.

I was in heaven as a fan of coconuts!
