How Is Rarotonga Now? (Cook Islands Prices đź’°)
We went back to Rarotonga after 4 years to find out if the Cook Islands is still the place everyone dreams of — here's what we actually found 🌺 | Explore the top rated Rarotonga experiences here → https://geni.us/53nk ⬇ Click MORE for all our Cook Islands insights ⬇ We've been to Rarotonga four times now (well, Dane has), but four years is a long time — enough for things to change, or not. This video covers a full day on Muri Beach, a boutique hotel resort style accommodation on the beach, the Muri Night Markets, a coffee shop that felt more like a friend's house and an off-road quad tour through parts of the island most visitors never see. We kept track of prices throughout so you know exactly what to budget. Muri Beach is still the hub — lagoon right there, loads of accommodation options and resorts lining the shore, restaurants and the night markets all within walking distance. We based ourselves here and honestly couldn't find a reason to be anywhere else One thing that has changed: there are noticeably more cafes and food options than last time, partly because places are now actually marketing themselves, partly just growth and expansion. The good news is, it doesn't feel like it's lots that island feel and there's still no big fast food giants.
