Rarotonga, the largest island in the Cook Islands, is a hidden gem that embodies a tranquil island lifestyle. The island's stunning Muri Beach, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and powdery white sand, is a standout attraction that draws visitors in. One unique thing that travellers love is the island's authentic Polynesian culture, which is still very much alive and vibrant, with opportunities to experience traditional Cook Islands dance and music. The best time to visit Rarotonga is from April to October, when the weather is dry and sunny. For first-timers, a practical tip is to rent a scooter to explore the island's scenic coastline and villages, which offers a more immersive and flexible experience than relying on taxis or tours.
