Best Restaurant in Raro

Amazing food and views. Must make a reservation at least a few days before your desired date as very popular.
Make sure you read the ‘salad’ descriptions, they are not about lettuce and tomato! Great selection of cocktails too.

Tours

Best to book via their website, www.arikiadventures.com - a wide range of sea scooter and paddle board tours available. Most popular is the Turtle Tour but book before you come as sells out quickly. This operator takes safety very seriously
