Ring road

People are about to learn another fascinating tidbit about the Cook Islands. Because the entire island is bordered by a single major lane, traveling around and exploring Rarotonga on a shoestring budget is extremely comfortable and quick. All you have to do now is find a car to rent, which you can do at the nearest car rental office. The 32-kilometer paved route encircles the Cook Islands' coastline, and it's worth noting that if you wish to travel to the suburbs, this road is ideal because it passes through several of the key Cook Islands communities. It is one of the best things about Cook Islands you should know.

There are no traffic signals on Rarotonga because the local population is barely over 15,000 people, and there are only a few cars on the road, so wave goodbye to fumes and honking. Exploring the island is safe and enjoyable, with most visitors electing to travel by foot or on one of the island's two local buses, which will pick up anyone at any time if they smile at the driver. Many visitors opt to rent a scooter, which is a convenient way to get around and experience the Cook Islands, as it runs through several of the key villages.
