Rarotonga, otherwise known as the emerald jewel of the Pacific makes a perfect honeymoon travel destination. With its deep valleys, spectacular peaks, sparkling lagoons and fertile plains, the place is an ideal paradise on earth. It is also considered to be the most beautiful island in the Pacific.

Many voyagers from England, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Canada have admitted that they have never seen an island more beautiful than Rarotonga. Their attitude towards Rarotonga is favorable when compared to their views of Fiji Islands, Tahiti, Hawaii etc which they find to be highly commercialized. This is because of the normal way of life of the people in Rarotonga which lacks a ‘tourist’ focus. Another distinct feature of the place is the countless tiny wild chickens that wander without hindrance throughout the place. The place has many beautiful honeymoon travel hotspots and locales and is captivating for the honeymooners who also enjoy the quiet calm and atmosphere of this place.

Honeymoon specials include guided cross-island walk led by the honeymoon travel guides. You can also enjoy the scenic beauty of mountains and the rainforests by means of a three-hour four-wheel drive safari. By means of a 20 minute scenic flight from the airport, the aerial scenery can be enjoyed.

The Takitumu Conservation Area Project offers guided tours into the Southern mountains. You can also have a glimpse of Rarotonga’s endangered Kakerori, the fly catcher bird. The revenue from these trips helps in keeping away the rats that prey on the tiny bird’s eggs.

Rarotonga’s land just like in most other islands in the Cooks group, is owned by individuals and families. These cannot be sold as freehold but can only be leased. Hence due to the non saleable nature of the lands, the result is often old and badly maintained homes that deteriorate in the tropical climate.

Snorkelling can be immensely enjoyed in the island. The place has endless possibilities for honeymoon travel cruises. The place also has an abundance of colorful fish, interesting corals and tropical marine life. You can easily view the colorful marine life by cruising on the lagoon by means of a glass bottom boat that takes you beyond the reef. High-speed tours beyond the reefs are also possible that helps you see huge whales and other stunning views of the island. You can also indulge in sport and game fishing as charter game fishing is extremely affordable and a fishing expedition is also tailor made to suit your needs. You’ll be provided with every type of gear by the charter operators. Also catamarans and kayaks can be hired to make your cruising experience more enjoyable. The Rarotonga Sailing Club at Muri Beach is also an attractive spot for tourists and honeymooners.

Rarotonga can be seen because it is not a manufactured destination point but a real place for tourists. Once can see real people wrestling with all the problems faced by small countries while trying to cope with the modernity of jet travel and modern communications.
