What's the best time to visit Rarotonga

Accepted Answer

There's no such thing as a right or wrong time to visit Rarotonga. The average daily high temperature only varies about three degrees - the difference between 28°C in January and 25°C in July. While it does rain a little more between November to April, typical Rarotonga weather delivers an average of eight sunshine hours a day.

Nope, the only dangerous fish is the Stone Fish. This fish is usually hiding around the reef so when swimming or snorkeling is best to wear reef shoes. Other than that, this is a safe paradise!
