Cook Islands Vacation Travel Guide - Things to Do and See in Cook Islands
The Cook Islands is a collection of 15 islands spread over 2 million square kilometers in the Pacific Ocean. Although the islands have the name of a British explorer from the 18th century, Polynesians have lived there since 1000 CE.
These days, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and swimming are all possible in the calm, clear seas surrounding this tropical paradise. You can stay in one of the many luxurious resorts if that's your style, or you can head to one of the more distant islands and enjoy the beautiful scenery on foot.
Use our Cook Islands travel guide to organize your vacation, cut costs, and make the most of your time in paradise.

TRAVEL to COOK ISLANDS - Welcome to Rarotonga! (Vlog Part 1)
We were lucky enough to travel to Cook Islands this year and couldn't believe just how beautiful, relaxed and culturally fascinating this archipelago in the Pacific Islands is.
We spent a week exploring the best things to do in Rarotonga, looking for the best snorkelling spots, stand-up paddleboarding at night, tackling the cross island trek and eating with locals during a Progressive Dinner.
The island is incredibly stunning, and it's quickly become one of our all-time favourite destinations on the planet. If you're thinking about travelling to the Cook Islands, or just need some convincing, let our Cook Islands travel guide help you out!
Sunset Paddleboard Tour is NZ$ 60 per person
Progressive Dinner Tour price is NZ$ 99 per person
2 dives with Pacific Divers is NZ$ 99 per person
Disclaimer - We travelled to the Cook Islands as part of a media campaign with Cook Islands Tourism, and our flights were covered by Air New Zealand.

We're nearing the end of our Cook Islands travels, so for this Rarotonga vlog we're mixing things up - here's some unique things to do! ???? Learn how to edit video with Dane — ⬇ More Below ⬇
Welcome back to the Cook Islands, it's our 6th vlog in this series and only one more to go from Rarotonga - man, what a holiday it's been! There's plenty of things to do in Rarotonga, but understandably a lot of the activities, tours and things to do end up being the same just recycled. Like we mention in the video, that's to be expected and we love laxxing in amazing accommodation, exploring the island, snorkelling, visiting the night markets, tasting the food and touring the lagoon — BUT there is so much more!
So for this trip back to Rarotonga we really wanted to pick a few unique things to do, finding some activities that may not be on everyones to do list or at the top of the tours to book. What we found were 3 epic adventures we wanted to share.
Check out the sea scooter safari with Ariki Adventures here —
Hang out with locals and crack into an island buffet here —
Stand up paddle board, catch a sunset, race some crabs and watch a fire show with KiteSUP here —
We were hosted by Cook Islands Tourism to assist in making this travel series in Aitutaki and Rarotonga, but as always we have full editorial control over what we film, what we say, and how we share the experience with you in these vlogs. There’s loads of incredible info about the Cook Islands here for your own holiday —
New Zealand is an incredibly beautiful country with so much to offer — but it's a lot larger than what you'd expect! We're producing the Ultimate New Zealand Travel Guide, a hub full of Kiwi knowledge to help you on your next adventures here. Take a look —
