Raemaru

Raemaru is a distinctive flat-topped mountain peak on the west coast of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, rising 357 meters above sea level. Its summit rewards hikers with spectacular 360-degree panoramas over the turquoise lagoon, patchwork farmlands, and the vast Pacific Ocean. The Raemaru Track is widely regarded as the easiest peak to climb on Rarotonga and one of the island's most rewarding short hikes. The approximately 3.1-kilometre return trail winds through lush jungle canopy before emerging onto a dramatic ridgeline, where the optional final challenge is a 15-metre rock-face scramble aided by fixed ropes and steel bars.
