Rarotonga, Cook Islands Cruise Port

Rarotonga is one of the islands found in the Cook Islands group and it is the youngest island in the whole group. It is not like the other islands because it has not been affected by submersions and erosions, which have reduced the size of most of the surrounding volcanic islands. The island offers a natural beauty that is characterized by sawtooth peaks and ridges that are covered by tropical jungles, separated by some streams that run down the island's steep valleys. The island is believed to have been discovered in 1823, by John Dibbs as he transported a missionary by the name of Reverend John Williams.
