Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rimatara Island?
The best area to stay on Rimatara Island is around the main village of Amaru, located on the northern coast.

Amaru is the largest settlement on the island and serves as its administrative centre. Here, you'll find the island's only airstrip, the port, and the few small shops and guesthouses available. The village is spread out along the coast, with a few roads leading inland to agricultural areas. It's a quiet, welcoming place where you can experience daily island life.

For solo travellers seeking an authentic and relaxed experience, Amaru is an excellent choice. Staying here means you're close to the island's limited facilities and can easily arrange excursions with local guides to explore the island's unique birdlife, like the Rimatara lorikeet, or visit the ancient marae (stone temples).
When is the best time to go to Rimatara Island?
The best time to go to Rimatara Island is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant temperatures and less humidity, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it ideal for exploring the island's natural beauty, such as its lush interior and coastal areas. The calmer seas also make activities like swimming and snorkelling more enjoyable.

For nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, this period is particularly good as it coincides with the breeding season of some endemic bird species, offering excellent opportunities for sightings.
