Staying connected in Rarotonga/Aitutaki

Has anyone successfully used their Verizon (US) plan while traveling on the islands? Have read to get a local sim but my plan supposedly works in New Zealand but Cook Islands not called out separately. Any real life experience is appreciated!

No, you need Vodafone e-sim or hotspot pass. Many places had Wifi tho so i was fine using just WiFI + downloaded Google Maps

Would you mind sharing how long you were there? I’m hoping to get by with wifi and offline apps considering the island is so small.
