Rarotonga, Cook Islands - Large
Rarotonga is the beating heart of the Cook Islands — a volcanic jewel encircled by a vibrant turquoise lagoon and protective reef. From its lush green peaks to the coral shallows that fringe its coastline, this handcrafted wooden map brings the island’s dramatic contours and coastal beauty to life in stunning detail.
Made in Aotearoa using premium European Birch plywood, each layer of the map is precisely laser-cut, hand-painted, and assembled to showcase the island’s unique topography and surrounding bathymetry — from the mountainous interior to the reef breaks and deeper ocean drop-offs.
