Cook Islands - Rarotonga, Atiu & Aitutaki

Book Now 12 night air & Land inclusive vacation
from $3669 per person based on double occupancy

From its pristine coral-sand beaches and sparkling sapphire-tinged waters, bold effervescent sunsets lighting the evening skies, and the gentle caress of trade winds brushing the palms that fringe its translucent lagoons, the Cook Islands embody everything you could ever imagine a ‘tropical paradise’ to be.





Indulge yourself in Rarotonga, home to the main town of Avarua –the nation’s tiny, hustle-bustle free capital, with its exquisite fine dining right at the water’s edge. Rarotonga is also your first stepping-stone to all the other islands in the Cook’s group.  Rarotonga offers visitors a unique blend of authentic culture while providing a sophisticated holiday destination, so it is not uncommon for visitors to see locals planting and harvesting their plantation crops of taro by hand, a traditional food supply throughout the ages, while traveling in air conditioned comfort to a lagoon-side luxury resort. With quality restaurants, an eclectic shopping district in the main township of Avarua, international banking facilities, museums, art galleries, a vibrant marketplace, and of course, many beautiful beaches to relax upon, Rarotonga is a fascinating beginning point to start your Cook Islands immersion from.

Escape to Atiu, whose mysteries lie deep in naturally formed limestone caves, just waiting to be explored. Atiu is an island of unexpected life and lush forest. Unlike the endless turquoise lagoon waters of Rarotonga and Aitutaki, Atiu offers a quiet, jungle paradise with thundering breakers on the close-by coral reef. It is one of the more popular destinations in the Southern Group of the Cook Islands, but remains off the beaten track and is well loved by those who make the journey.

Fall in love with Aitutaki, the most famous island in the group –internationally renown for its spectacular lagoon. Aitutaki is the Cook Islands most popular tourist destination after Rarotonga, and considering it is a world-renowned atoll that is at times referred to as the ‘Bora Bora’ of the Cook Islands, it is easy to understand why it is such a favorite.  Whether you’re floating through the azure water on a lagoon cruise, enjoying the views from a shady beach bungalow or catching a scenic panoramic from the peak of Maunga Pa the highest hill on the island – Aitutaki is a paradise not to be missed.
