Fares for Flight and Tour products of Air Rarotonga, Paradise islands Limited and the Vaka Cruise have different discounts for Children and Infant passengers. 


Whilst the level of discount may differ across products, the definition of what age constitutes Children (CHD) and Infant (INF) passengers however is identical across all products marketed and sold by the aforementioned companies:

Adult: 

A person who has reached his/her 12th birthday as of the date of commencement of travel.

Child:

A person who has reached his/her 2nd birthday but not his/her 12th birthday (i.e. between the ages of 2 to 11 inclusive) as of the date of commencement of travel.

Infant:

 A person who has not reached his/her second birthday at the time of departure for each flight during the course of the journey.

For return journeys, the departure date of the return leg defines the passenger type. Please note that changing any leg of a journey to a date when the passenger will have reached the next age group will require adjusting the fare.

All of our fares available are based on the above three passenger type codes. There may be occasions where you, or a member of your travelling party, was classified as a child or infant at the commencement of the journey but the classification changed to child or adult during the journey.


What happens when your infant turns into a child after commencement of your journey (2 years)?

You may either purchase a child fare ticket for the entire journey, or purchase two separate tickets i.e. an infant fare ticket for the commencement of the journey and a child fare ticket for the return/onward journey.


What happens when your child turns into an adult after commencement of your journey (12 years)?

You may either purchase an adult fare ticket for the entire journey, or purchase two separate tickets i.e. a child fare ticket for the commencement of the journey and an adult fare ticket for the return/onward journey.


Air Rarotonga and The Vaka Cruise may require you to produce proof of age (Passport, or ID card or birth certificate) for Children and Infants.
