This is Dane's fourth trip to Rarotonga and our third Cook Islands series and we still love it! Even after all these tripes we still had activities lined up we'd never done before. If you're researching a Rarotonga holiday, wondering what to do in Rarotonga beyond the beach, or just want an honest look at whether the Cook Islands is worth it — this is the video.

*🐕 WAGGY TAIL WALKING EXPERIENCE — Cook Islands SPCA*
$25 NZD. Walk rescue dogs to a waterfall or the beach, entirely volunteer-run. Nobody plans this one but everyone talks about it after.
