ELECTRICITY & WATER
|
 |
On Rarotonga and Aitutaki electricity is provided continuously 24 hours a day at 240 volts AC Hz/50 cycle with plugs suitable for New Zealand. Visitors from North America, Europe and U.K. may need adaptor plugs to operate appliances such as hair dryers, laptops, etc. Electricity supplies on a number of the outer islands vary in availability and frequency, so it is recommended to check prior to departure as to what you can expect at each island location.
All the Cook Islands electricity is supplied from diesel generators and is expensive to produce so please conserve electricity by remembering to switch off fans and air-conditioning while away from your room.
It is recommended that overseas visitors drink bottled water, which is readily available from local shops. Most of the quality hotels provide filtered tap water that is safe to drink.
