I will be heading back to Rarotonga the first chance I get. It's very hard to go anywhere and truly unplug from reality, but Raro gives a person that opportunity. It's such a lovely experience. I'm incredibly grateful I was able to visit!

Rarotonga and Aitutaki are both very beautiful and safe. I like that plastic and Styrofoam have been banned on the islands. The beaches are very clean
