The Cook Islands
In the heart of the South Pacific, a special place awaits you; magical islands inhabited by some of the world's most friendly people; clear turquoise waters; white-sand beaches, and nature in abundance. Relaxing, invigorating, and wonderfully exotic, the Cook Islands boast excellent restaurants, resorts, watersports and year-round snorkelling. Rarotonga, with a circumference of just 32km, is the main island; richly attractive, lush, mountainous and fringed with reef. Just a 50-minute scenic flight from Rarotonga is the paradise island of Aitutaki. Boasting a spectacular lagoon teeming with marine life, and surrounded by a sparkling array of uninhabited islands, it is the perfect place to get away from it all.
