Cook Islands BEST KEPT SECRET PARADISE: Aitutaki

The Cook Islands are somewhat unknown in the South Pacific, but they have a secret tropical paradise known as Aitutaki. It has the most beautiful lagoon, crystal clear tropical water, and perfect sandy beaches.

If you can't afford to stay on the island, you can take a day excursion or day trip to Aitutaki and see things much more affordably. You'll have to fly in and out on the same day, but we thought it added to the adventure!

Paradise Unearthed: Discovering the Untouched Splendor of the Cook Islands

Everything That You Should Know About The Cook Islands is an inviting video that transports you to a tropical paradise, nestled in the heart of the Pacific. Join Pietro and Eltje as they guide you through the enchanting Cook Islands, a mere four-hour flight northeast of New Zealand, where time seems to stand still and the beauty of nature is in its purest form.

The Cook Islands are not just a destination; they are an experience. The islands are known for their friendly and hospitable inhabitants who embody the true spirit of 'Mana,' making every visitor feel like part of their extended family.

Tourism centred around the bustling Rarotonga and the tranquil Aitutaki, forms the backbone of the country’s economy. However, it's the less-travelled outer islands that hold the real treasure - unspoiled beauty and freedom for exploration that's rare in today’s world.

Arriving in Rarotonga is like stepping into a different era. The main town, with just a handful of shops, offers the essentials, transporting visitors back to simpler times. Travelers are advised to bring any specific necessities, as the local offerings focus primarily on foods and drinks.

The true magic, however, lies in the outer islands. Here, you will encounter landscapes untouched by time, communities living in harmony with nature, and opportunities for genuine adventure. Whether it's the pristine beaches, the rich culture, or the vibrant marine life, the Cook Islands offer an escape into a world of unparalleled beauty and tranquillity.

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.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Rarotonga, the capital of our friendly little corner of the Pacific, is a very small island at only 32 kms around the outer perimeter. It takes approximately 40 minutes to drive around the island by car or motor scooter, which means all services and amenities on the island are just 20 minutes from wherever you are.

There are only 16,000 of us living in the Cook Islands. 10,000 live on Rarotonga with the rest living on 12 of our 15 islands. We are Polynesian, naturally friendly and openly welcome visitors to our shores like we have been doing for the past millennium or two. Everyone speaks English as well as the native Polynesian language.

Rarotonga is the transport hub of the Cook Islands with frequent connections from New Zealand, Australia, Tahiti, North America (via Los Angeles) and South America (via Tahiti or Auckland).

Enua Manea - Cook Islands TA'AKOKA Dance Troupe .

Enua Manea ( Ile magnifique ) c'est l'hommage à cette terre polynésienne des COOK ISLANDS , archipel voisin ( composé de 15 Iles ayant chacun un dialecte polynésien bien spécifique ) ) de notre polynésie française , c'est la beauté de cette polynésie anglosaxone qui est chantée dans cette vidéo magnifique tournée sur une plage des Cook lslands ( Kuki Airani ) dont RAROTONGA en est l île et chef lieu principale !
On ne connait pas trop ces îles pourtant voisines de la Polynésie Française , beaucoup de similitudes existent entre les deux archipels qui ont eu un moment donné de leur histoire des mariages entre eux par des migrations et évangélisation , leur langue s ' apparente au MAORI de Aotearoa NZ !
Il n est pas rare d entendre dire que tel ou un tel a un grand père tahitien ou grand mère et vice versa ! Tahiti et ses iles sont très proches des Iles Cook ( anglosaxonnes ) !
ce KAPARIMA ( APARIMA ) est exécuté par le groupe TA'AKOKA DANCE !
