What we’re trying to say is you don’t have to go far to feel far away from the rest of the world on the Cook Islands. Welcome to paradise!

Getting Around the Cook Islands

Cook Islands flights land at Rarotonga International Airport. From there, you can catch a puddle-jumper to most of the islands. Want some time on the open seas? Take a boat like Captain Cook would. Don’t forget your eyepatch.

When You Land…

Are you onflights to the Cook Islandsthat touch down in the morning? Strap on your flippers and snorkel around the islets of Aitutaki Lagoon for the rest of the day. Landing in the afternoon? Enjoy the sunset from the white sand beach of Muri islet.

If you land after dark, don’t pass up the chance to head to town and shop for those beautiful black pearls Polynesia is famous for. Put them on now and paint the town red (don’t you just look fab!), or just hit the hay at your accommodation in the Cook Islands.
