Top Nature in Rarotonga

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.

Try to pick a day with decent weather to get the most out of your safari experience. I went when it was cloudy, and while still fun, I missed some amazing views and photo ops!

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 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
