Te Rua Manga, also called The Needle, is a pointy rock formation peeking through the green wild jungle of Rarotonga and it is also the most famous (as well as difficult) hike to do here. When you start on the north, you hike through the whole island and get out of the jungle on the south, ot you can try the other way around from south to north. This was a must-do for us, so on our 3rd morning in Cook Islands, we packed some snacks, lots of water, bug spray and sunscreen, hailed the bus and headed north. the needle hike rarotonga
Exploring South Pacific was on my radar for a very long time. Pristine lagoons, white beaches, colorful underwater world, tropical flowers, lush jungles… I mean, who wouldn’t want to experience all of this? So when we found discounted flights to Rarotonga on Cook Islands, we didn’t hesitate a second and booked them right away. hat to do in cook islands
