Top Water Activities in Rarotonga

If you're hoping for a less crowded experience, try to visit on a weekday and get there by 10 AM. Trust me, the early morning vibe is just breathtaking!

I think it's worth checking the tide schedules before you go; some parts of the beach can get shallow and less enjoyable during low tide

Bring some snacks and water with you! There aren't many places to grab a bite right on the beach, and it can get super hot.

Don't forget your reef shoes. The coral can be sharp, and I learned that the hard way when I stepped on a piece.

I suggest renting a kayak for a couple of hours instead of taking a guided tour. It's way cheaper and gives you the freedom to explore the reef at your own pace, plus you'll see some amazing spots all by yourself

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The nearby convenience store can be pricey, and having your own supplies lets you relax longer on the beach without worrying about spending too much.

I think it’s worth bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beachside vendors can be a bit pricey, and there are some great picnic spots under the trees. Nothing beats a packed lunch with a stunning view!

I suggest checking the tide schedules before heading out to the beach. I didn’t realize that low tide makes it easier to explore the coral reefs. It was so much fun, but I missed out on some cool spots because I went at the wrong time

I recommend coming around 3 PM when the light is just perfect for photos and the crowds thin out a little. We got some stunning shots and had more space to enjoy the falls!

I suggest wearing good water shoes for the hike, it can get slippery! I slipped a bit and it was not fun. Plus, the water is super refreshing for a swim after, so you'll want to feel comfy
