“Personally, I love using the drone over the lagoons – especially at sunrise, the harbour is really picturesque, the cruise boats, the amazing ocean, and Rarotonga’s mountains”.

If you are in Rarotonga on holiday or for a special occasion, ask Tokerau about creating lasting memories for you – on land or from the air, or both! T okerau Jim Images T: 70 231 E: tokeraijim@icloud.com F b: T okerauJimImages
