Kia Orana Cook Islands
On sale now until 22 November 2025
If you’ve explored other tropical islands in the Pacific, the Cook Islands—especially Rarotonga—offer something refreshingly different. Just under four hours from New Zealand, it’s easy to get to, relaxed from the moment you arrive, and beautifully uncrowded. Rarotonga isn’t about big resorts or polished experiences—it’s about authenticity. You’ll find friendly locals, untouched natural beauty, and a slower pace that makes it easy to unwind.
With Air New Zealand now offering direct flights from both Auckland and seasonal direct flights from Christchurch, getting to paradise has never been easier.
The island is small enough to explore in a day, but don’t be fooled—there’s plenty to do. Snorkelling in crystal-clear lagoons, hiking through lush inland tracks, or enjoying a local feed at a night market, the Cook Islands blend laid-back charm with genuine cultural warmth. Whether you're looking to completely switch off or get out and explore, Rarotonga delivers in a way that's low-key but deeply memorable.
