About the time in Rarotonga
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Rarotonga day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 19:00–03:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:57 and sunset at 06:27 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-21.23, -159.77) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rarotonga.
Clocks in Rarotonga stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −10 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Cook Islands.
