Here are some examples of arrival & departure taxes/fees, airport fees, etc. for various destinations for roundtrips from AKL (comparison made 2009), and as you can see, the Cook Islands is somewhere in the middle:


Rarotonga: NZ$55 (paid upon departure)


(The amounts were calculated by taking the total taxes/fees for an AKL-XXX-AKL trip and deducting the taxes/fees charged at AKL)
Going to RAR in July. Is the $55.00 payable on Visa or does it have to be cash? Also how is this fee charged. At checkin or security?

Thanks
