Rarotonga & Aitutaki Holiday Sale

On sale until 28 February 2026

If you’ve explored other tropical islands in the Pacific, the Cook Islands offer something refreshingly different.

Just under 4 hours from New Zealand, it’s wonderfully easy to reach and relaxed from the moment you arrive. Beautifully uncrowded and free from large-scale development, the Cook Islands deliver a sense of space and authenticity that’s increasingly rare.

For those who return year after year, it’s the familiarity that draws them back — the warm welcomes, the lagoon that seems to glow in every shade of blue, the favourite beachfront café where nothing ever feels rushed. It’s a place where you quickly feel known, not just accommodated.

For first-time visitors, expect something genuinely grounded. Rarotonga isn’t about big resorts or overly polished experiences — it’s about connection. Friendly locals, untouched natural beauty, and a slower pace make it easy to unwind. You can circle the island in under an hour, snorkel straight off the beach, explore lush interior trails, or simply settle into island time and let the days unfold naturally.

Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the Cook Islands have a way of quietly becoming somewhere you want to return to again and again.
