Aitutaki. Cook Island. Polynesia. South Pacific Ocean. A child plays typical fire dances of the Polynesian in the Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa Hotel. Daily Activities Programme. Time and time again our guests remark on how much their holiday has been enriched by the warmth, friendliness, sense of fun and depth of local knowledge shared freely with them by our Activities Team members. And this too is often why they return, time and again, to The Rarotongan rather than stay at an isolated bach. Because here at The Rarotongan, you can enjoy one of the most extensive free activities programmes you are likely to find anywhere on Earth. It’s all laid on, right here at The Rarotongan. Resort Orientation – others include this as a bonus offer (!!), here at The Rarotongan, it’s a given … Snorkelling Lessons in the Pool or Lagoon – great for when you’re a bit rusty, or haven’t had a go before. Very patient, sympathetic instructors. Snorkelling Safaris in pristine Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve – it’s good to go with a knowledgeable guide, then use our Snorkelling Map another time and do it your way (yip, we even publish an Aroa Lagoon Snorkelling Map – only at The Rarotongan!) Night Snorkelling – unique to The Rarotongan, and one of our most popular and fascinating excursions Fish Feeding – this is one of the absolute highlights for so many guests, young and young at heart! The fish are the friendliest you’ll fine anywhere Guided Kayaking Safaris – drink in some great views of the majestic mountains from Aroa Lagoon Guided Nature & Village Walks – The Rarotongan is located in beautiful Aroa, between Rutaki and Kavera villages, well away from any other resorts or hotels. It’s a picturesque little area to explore, especially when you go with someone who knows the locals and the lay of the land. Beach Volleyball on prime Aroa Beach Water Polo in the Waterfalls Pool Tennis Coaching Crab Hunting – of course we employ a catch and release system. Crab Racing – people, they’ll bet on anything! Culture – no, this is not a code-word for boring (see below). Check out the Activities Blackboard (located beside the Activities Hut) or your nightly Guest Newsletter for the day’s schedule of activities, and enjoy! Open every day, from 8am to 6pm.
