Get to know this lush South Pacific archipelago while lending a hand to the Maori people. Volunteers give children reading lessons; clear trails in the bird sanctuary; or assist scientists at the local Whale Research Center. Rarotonga island's crystal-blue waters are ideal for snorkeling, and its jungle-covered volcano is a good hiking spot, as long as you have a seasoned guide.
