Rarotonga, Cook Islands - Large

Thanks — that’s perfect! Here's a full product description for Rarotonga – Large, in the same tone and structure as your Bay of Islands example, adjusted for the 60 x 80cm size:

Rarotonga is the beating heart of the Cook Islands — a volcanic jewel encircled by a vibrant turquoise lagoon and protective reef.

Made in Aotearoa using premium European Birch plywood, each layer of the map is precisely laser-cut, hand-painted, and assembled to showcase the island’s unique topography and surrounding bathymetry — from the mountainous interior to the reef breaks and deeper ocean drop-offs.
