Aitutaki THIS magnificent and remote island is the stuff of which dreams are made. It is a triangular-shaped 'almost'-atoll rising up 4000 metres from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It consists of three volcanic and 12 coral islets (motus.)
Avarua Avarua is the main town on Rarotonga and extends east from the airport. The coast along Avarua Town is rocky but a passage through the reef makes it ideal as a harbour for fishing boats and yachts. There are a few part-sandy beaches to the east of Avarua Town but swimming is restrictive.
Rarotonga Since Rarotonga is the youngest island in the Cook Islands southern group it is physically unlike its other volcanic neighbors where erosion and periodic submersions have reduced mountains to gentle hills. Rarotonga's central massif is the eroded remains of a once mighty volcanic pyramid whose crags now form sawtooth peaks and razorback ridges covered with tropical jungle. These are separated by streams running down steep valleys.
Titikaveka Beach Titikaveka beach on the south side of the island, which boasts a wide, calm lagoon protected by a coral reef and is perfect for swimmers and snorkelers alike. Our white sand beach is the ideal place to spend the day - if you're not biking, hiking, shopping, scuba diving, or enjoying our landscaped garden and swimming pool.
