This marine reserve is the area near the Rarotongan Beach Resort. It is NOT the area around Fruits of Rarotonga. Some areas of Aroa have some wicked currents (not undertow) that can fire you down the beach several meters before you know it and it can be difficult to get out of the current. The currents are not tide related and seem to come and go at a whim, you just have to go out and try. The safest area for weak swimmers or children is around the dive shop. This area is very similar in snorkeling to the area at Fruits of Rarotonga (Tikioki Beach).

Very good snorkeling here and just across the road from the Big fish dive shop. You can hire good quality snorkeling gear at the dive shop for that enhanced experience..

Follow the advice of the guys in the Dive shop in Avarua - they'll give you a free map and some brilliant tips - sometimes it felt like we were swimming through fish, not water - there were so many! Totally totally awesome!

Fish galore! Colorful huge fish that are so friendly I found myself smiling in my mask. Safe water with fish very close to shore. Across from the fruits of Rarotonga. Just perfect.

Superb visibility, heaps of sea life and warm water! even saw a turtle. Best snorkelling site we found on island

Long stretches if beach to yourself and wonderful snorkelling. There was lower visibility some days due to waves smashing over the reef, but it was just amazing. Schools of trevally, amazing tropical fish, starfish and turtles. Just great.

12 days on Raro and 8 of them we visited here, the other four the winds and waves made snorkelling out of the question. This was our second visit to Rarotonga and this site is by far the best place without a doubt in our mind . We saw snowflake eel, zebra moray, emperor angelfish, blue streak gobies, octopus , arc eyed hawk fish, piano fang blenny, rock turner wrasse, were just a few of the new ones we identified this year. Some days the current is strong, other days not. Overall for us , because we like to take underwater pictures, the shallow depths and clarity make for great photo opps. I would like to encourage people to learn about coral and learn how to snorkel comfortably, and not to put your feet or flippers near anything. So many people get water in their mask, they panic and opps, the poor coral takes a beating. Snorkeling is so much more enjoyable with proper fitting equipment, then there is no leakage and everybody wins.

Right by Rarotongan Resort. Spot with the most fish to see. Easier with flippers as current was pushing us along on the days we visited.Very beautiful spot.Had backpack on scooter with towel and snorkelling gear in.

Went several times as best on island and returned after visiting Aitutaki and thought it was better than there. Also went into it from the Rarotongan resort and all good snorkling along there. We found it when we were trying to escape the south winds at Titikaveka. Take away on corner by Dive shop also okay and did good coffee (but check their adding up.)

Some areas of the lagoon at this location had come and go currents that were very strong at times. No relation to tides. Just had to go out and try. Otherwise snorkeling was excellent.
