Beyond the Beach: Active Adventures & Events in Rarotonga

By
Cook Islands Tourism

This island paradise isn't just about picture-perfect beaches. It's the perfect spot for fitness fanatics to sweat it out and have a blast together.

Picture this: beach boot-camps with the sound of crashing waves, or epic hikes up volcanic peaks where you can high-five at the top with insane island views. Feeling adventurous? Grab some stand-up paddleboards and explore the crystal-clear lagoon, spotting colourful fish as you get your core fired up. Wanna add a cultural twist? Learn Ura fitness – it's basically getting your heart rate up while mastering some seriously cool Cook Islands dance moves (bonus points for rocking a head ei - a traditional flower crown)!

Check out one of our local gyms or even one of the local fitness classes that consist of cross-fit styles of training. Plus, depending on when you visit, you might even catch a world-class event! Time your trip right and you could witness the thrilling Vaka Eiva canoe race, the Air New Zealand Triathlon, or even push yourselves to the limit at the Aitutaki Liftoff - a major internationally recognised cross-fit style event.

Pack your workout clothes, grab your fit fam, and get ready for the ultimate Rarotonga Rumble – an unforgettable trip where stunning scenery, delicious food, epic workouts, and maybe even a world-class event create memories that'll last a lifetime!
