Discover Marine and Wildlife Eco Centre, Arorangi

What a wonderful educational visit! They happened to have rescued one just the other day, which came up in the beach (not a good sign). Stephanie told us all about her care of the turtle while at her ice cream and coffee shop duties as well! It was just $39 for a family pass. We got to see a coconut crab as well. There was a touch pool with sea stars, and sea cucumbers, there were tanks with sea life such as a stone fish, and baby puffer fish. We also saw skeletons and jaw bones of many creatures, including sharks and turtles, museum objects of the past such as old diving and whaling gear, info boards on how islands are formed and the nearby island group. I also really enjoyed their artwork by locals - and their coffees and ice-creams are great.

Nothing much , very small place but ok if you are in Rarotonga with kids, coconut crab is the attraction, try their coffee
