Maunga Pu (also known as Raemaru) is a prominent inland mountain on Rarotonga, Cook Islands, offering hiking opportunities and panoramic views of the island. The accessibility to the summit can be challenging due to the terrain, so appropriate footwear and a reasonable level of fitness are recommended. While solo hikes are possible, guided tours are advisable, particularly for those unfamiliar with the local trails, and they can provide valuable insights into the local flora, fauna, and history. Seasonal weather conditions can impact the trail; it is best to check local weather forecasts before planning a visit, as heavy rain can make the trail slippery and dangerous. The cost of a visit can vary depending on whether you opt for a guided tour, which typically ranges from $50 to $100. A typical visit duration to the summit and back is around 3 to 5 hours.
