Kitesurfing on Muri Lagoon
📍 Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Where
Muri Lagoon
Opening hours
Afternoons, when the wind is up
Typical cost
Lessons and gear hire available
Muri gets reliable trade winds and the lagoon is shallow and flat, which is close to ideal for learning and pleasant for anyone already competent.
Learning here
Standing depth over much of the lagoon means mistakes are recoverable, and instructors operate on the beach.
Practical
- Wind is most reliable in the afternoon and in the drier months.
- Reef shoes — you will be standing on the bottom.
- Keep clear of swimmers, paddlers and the cruise boat channels.
💡 Local tip
The wind that makes the afternoon bad for paddling is what makes it good for kiting. Plan the lagoon around that — paddle in the morning, kite after lunch.
