A Guide to Kids' Clubs and Babysitting in the Cook Islands
A trip abroad is not just about soaking up the sun and playing in the pool. One of the best ways to get little ones immersed in the culture of the Cook Islands is through the kids' club.
With an array of activities specially designed for children between 4 and 12 years old, the kids' clubs on Rarotonga will not only give younger family members something fun to do but also give parents a well-deserved time off.
While Rarotonga is the only Cook Islands destination with kids' clubs, babysitting services are also available (in limited instances) in Aitutaki and Atiu.
