Rarotonga, what to do???

[the more ports the better]

Does anyone have experience in Rarotonga.  What are the best things to do.  Nothing on Viator or get your guide.  There is some info on trip advisor but not a lot.  Thanks!

6 times on Rarotonga  .... most people go to Muri Beach area. Nice hiking trail over the peaks.

Thanks so much tahitianbigkahuna, you are a wealth of info!  I’ll check it out.  We are geezers but we still work out every day and love a good hike!

The ship used to have an excursion called a "Circle Island Tour", which was either an open or closed bus that made a number of stops as it circled most of the island. It was very informative, the stops were interesting, most at historical sites, and if I recall it was modestly priced.

Thank you, I just contacted them.  The hike looks great!

We did a tuk tuk tour, perhaps 3 hours or so, half day I guess.  It was great fun, and I'd definitely do it again.  Can't remember the name of the company, but if you do some googling I'm sure it'll pop up.  He took us around the island, to a brewery, a museum, the main marae.  It was all very nice and we loved it.

We just disembarked last week. We did the Muri Lagoon Cruise in Rarotonga and loved it! The shuttle/bus ride to the lagoon was also very interesting and beautiful (no narration nor announcements; just observation). A couple of nice snorkel stops and then a very light picnic on the islet. Try to get the back seat on the bus for the most space and airflow. (Details:  3 hours, $119pp, departed at 9:15am)

We've been there 3 times.  The first time was for 2 weeks.  We just take the island bus and get off if a place looks interesting.   This usually includes a stop to snorkel.  Very inexpensive and you can take the bus clockwise or anti-clockwise.
