Microlite flight in the Cooks

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Cook Islands

I'm surprised that I'm not seeing any postings about how wonderful the microlight flight in Raro is. It's been 4 yrs since I was there and did the microlight, but it was an absolute highlight! Amazing views--very much like doing a hot air balloon and worth every penny, even tho it wasn't necessarily cheap. Can't remember the details, but we left from the airport and the views were breath taking!

The information on the microlight flights is featured in my guidebook, don't have a copy on me and am away from my office, will post it first of next week when I return to Montana. Incidentally the second edition of Papa Mike's Cook Islands Handbook, should be available next month from Internet Bookstores worldwide.

The microlite flight business you refer to is out of business for about a year. So is their delightful cafe out near Rarotonga airport. Sorry.
