Those looking for a shorter distance will be swimming closer to shore. There is one day we will swim with the locals at the daily lunchtime Boiler Swim based out of Trader Jacks.

In our swim free time, we will take in as much of Rarotonga as we can. Here are the tours that we are booked for:
Turtle tour with Ariki Adventures (Muri Beach)
