There is no place quite like it!

Cook Islanders are proudly Polynesian, warm and friendly; the vibrant culture is happy and engaging. Beaches, lagoons, mountains and rain forests are a pristine wonderland. Cafés, restaurants, beach bars and nightlife are all around. And, offshore and onshore adventures and activities are bountiful.

It's not hard to love this little paradise! Importantly, the pace is pleasantly 'island time!'

Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, the Cook Islands is in the same time zone as the Hawaiian Islands, our northern hemisphere cousins.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands' biggest island and gateway, is around four hours flying time from Auckland.

Presently, the only airline serving the Cook Islands is Air New Zealand from Auckland. For more information on travel to the Cook Islands during the COVID pandemic, click: Getting here.
