Activities

Double Kayak

If you are looking for an activity that will get you out on the water all while strengthening your teamwork, then grab a double kayak and don’t look back. Kayaks are often available through your accommodation, but if not, you can rent them from one of the many companies on the island.

This is a great way to view the marine life and natural beauty of the local beaches and lagoons.

Hike Together

Rarotonga has so many great hikes and treks, so you and your partner should definitely take on the challenge together. The Cross Island Trek is the most popular and offers a real challenge with its half-day length. Alternatively, a real treat for couples would be to take part on a guided hike for a sunrise or sunset time.

Stargazing

If you are looking for a beautiful romantic atmosphere, then find a spot on Rarotonga to do some stargazing. Far from the light pollution of modern cities, Rarotonga offers some amazing starry skies. And you can even spot a meteor shower if you visit between late April and late May.

The best spots for stargazing on Rarotonga are Motu Oneroa at Muri Lagoon, or Avana Point which is on the far north side of the island and has the least amount of light pollution.

There is nothing better than getting a massage first thing on a holiday - the only thing that could supersede it is having your partner with you. Rarotonga has so many amazing luxurious spa experiences to offer so you and your partner are sure to leave the island in a state of blissful calm.
