Down the Rabbit Hole || Exploring Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Today we’re climbing one of the tallest mountains on the island for an epic view and we get sucked down the rabbit hole on the legendary Mt. Raemaru.

Seriously, the people we’ve met on Rarotonga have been amazing. One day I ran out of cash at a cafe and the lady behind the counter loaned me her scooter to go to the ATM. That would never happen in the USA.

Then we met Dion & Marcelle. They made it their personal mission to make sure we had a killer time on their island. After a full tour of Raro, Marcelle took us to her favorite cafe for coffee and brunch then she gave us her car!!! Yea. Crazy right?!?

First big adventure she told us to: Hike the legendary Raemaru trek up the mountain. The most famous mountain in all of the Cook Islands.

It’s the first real trail we’ve seen since Mt. Quilotoa in Ecuador (watch it here: https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/epic-volcano-hiking-ecuador), and it’s definitely the most interactive trail we’ve ever hiked. From the QR code signs, to the hunt for red passion fruit and guava, and the rope assisted vertical ascent to the top…this hike is LEGIT! Beautiful weather, stunning scenery and some

📷 If you’re wondering how we got those crazy vids from the top of the mountain, make sure you check out our top camera gear on our website. If we hiked with a proper tripod, or if it wasn’t so windy, the footage would have been super stable…we just didn’t prepare for that much wind at the top.

Oh, and that bash between my camera and the tree…it’s not the first time that poor Sony has been beaten up on a hike. I can’t believe that thing still works. 🎥
