arturpoz 23:45 UTC 26 Nov 2008 | Hi Rick! I was on the Cook Islands in April/May 2007. You can find my short report here: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/message.jspa?messageID=13651898#13651898 Rarotonga Backpackers, where I stayed, have a couple of beach huts. You can find some details here: http://www.rarotongabackpackers.com/ Admittedly the beach there is not good for swimming, because the water is shallow, but it shouldn't be a problem if you hire a motorbike (or ordinary bike). Then in 15 (or 30 minutes) you reach Titikaveka and in next 10 minutes Muri, which are the best swimming areas on Raro. And if you are looking for more luxurious accomodation, you'll find several options on these locations. Have a great journey! Artur | 1
