Cook Islands

The Cook Islands Weather Forecasters…. by V&Rob

“Rarotonga is the main island of many scattered around the region, and with four days here we thought we would just visit this one to get an idea of what the country is like,” begin V&Rob who recently visited the Cook Islands during their trip around the world. With affordable luxury, the Cook Islands are a great place to escape to if you are looking for quiet beaches, lazy sunbathing and water sports.

V&Rob seem to find adventures wherever they go, and judging from this travel photo of the day, they found plenty of activities here as well:

“We lucked out, with our hostel being on the beach and with a view of 4 uninhabited islands from the deck area as well as a very quiet beach, all tucked in a clear turquoise lagoon behind which lay an angry ink blue sea. The islands sheltered the beach nicely and calmed the winds, making our windsurfing efforts stately but safe.

Whilst we were supposed to be chilling out, the challenge of an island circumnavigation by bicycle proved too hard to resist, and we made a day of it, returning sweatsoaked to the incredulity of our fellow hostellers, who had spent the day on the beach with the most activity being reapplying sunscreen!

A couple of voyages (by wading mostly) to the islands nearby revealed a wealth of exotic tropical fish (including the well known “stripey!” and “electric blue with yellow fins!” kind) and some very cool hermit crabs, taking advantage of all the gorgeous shells that were washed up on the beach to make some very glamorous homes.” (more…)
