COOK ISLANDS, EXPLORING PAPUA WATERFALLS ???? after a huge tropical storm (in Rarotonga)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the spectacular Papua (also known as Wigmore's) waterfall, located in the island of Rarotonga. I videotaped the waterfall just at the height of flow and after a very heavy tropical storm had passed over the island, we had very heavy rain (non-stop) for 3 days!! I videotaped this beautiful place while standing up to my waist in freezing water!!

A Little Paradise - Cook Islands: Wigmore's Waterfall (Papua)
A Little Paradise - Cook Islands: #Rarotonga - Wigmore's Waterfall (Papua):
Wigmore’s Waterfall (also known as Papua in the Cook Island’s Maori tongue [or Papua Waterfall]) is the lone waterfall attraction that we’re aware of throughout the Cook Islands.
The Cook Islands (Cook Islands Māori: Kūki 'Āirani)[6] is a self-governing island country in the South Pacific Ocean in free association with New Zealand. It comprises 15 islands whose total land area is 240 square kilometres (92.7 sq mi). The Cook Islands' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covers 1,800,000 square kilometres (690,000 sq mi) of ocean.
New Zealand is responsible for the Cook Islands' defence and foreign affairs, but they are exercised in consultation with the Cook Islands. In recent times, the Cook Islands have adopted an increasingly independent foreign policy. Although Cook Islanders are citizens of New Zealand, they have the status of Cook Islands nationals, which is not given to other New Zealand citizens.
The Cook Islands' main population centres are on the island of Rarotonga (10,572 in 2011), where there is an international airport. There is a larger population of Cook Islanders in New Zealand itself; in the 2013 census, 61,839 people said they were Cook Islanders, or of Cook Islands descent.
With about 100,000 visitors travelling to the islands in the 2010–11 financial year,[10] tourism is the country's main industry, and the leading element of the economy, ahead of offshore banking, pearls, and marine and fruit exports.

During unexpected dry periods, a small remaining pool is evidence of lack of rain.

Cook Islands Holiday Guide - Cross Island Trek July 2015
The Cross Island Walk takes roughly about 3 and a half hours to complete, but can take longer when taking photo's or video. You need comfortable shoes, a water bottle, and mosquito reppelant or even better for the mozzies we use coconut oil.
Take your time, especially with young ones, SAFETY is number ONE priority.
It is recommended to walk the cross island trek from the north side, in Avatiu. But some have decided to stop at the Sheraton site in Vaimaanga and walk up the road that leads to Wigmore's Waterfall. That's fine except there aren't many proper markings in place, just remember that.
I wanted to find out though how easy it was to get side tracked walking from the south, even walking from the north-side can present it's own problems. And the triangle markings, my assistant reckons when walking from the north is too far apart. We use these markings walking from the south.
Made it all the way up to Te Rua Manga, awesome view.
Lot's of creeks to cross, the water is fresh higher up the mountain. Lot's of vegetation, old trees, and wild chooks well maybe not but they were really tame.
(This is only a short video - the full length video is waiting for an aerial view to be installed before it is uploaded)
