Dining Suggestions
For a small island, Rarotonga offers a diverse range of culinary options for visitors. However, to really soak up what the island life is all about the best thing you can do is sample some of the local cuisine.
Particular favourites include eke (octopus), taro (tuber vegetable), rakau (spinach-like taro leaves), kumara (sweet potato) and poke (pawpaw pudding). The coconuts are also to die for!
Popular places to dine while on the island include The Blue Note, Banana Court Bar, Trader Jacks, Flame Tree, Portofino and Tumunu
What to bring to shore?
Comfortable shoes are a must if you plan on doing a lot of walking around. If you are staying outdoors, a hat and sunscreen are essential. If you plan on snorkelling, ensure you bring your gear and swimmers.
Don´t forget your passport, identification and cash/credit cards. Your camera is also a must.
Docking
Your cruise ship will anchor in Avatiu Harbour where you will be transferred to shore via the ship´s tender.
Taxis and public transport are limited on the island so keep this is mind if you have chosen not to book a shore tour.
