The stunning 15 paradisal islands in the heart of the South Pacific – lying halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii – make for an exceptional, heavenly getaway.  Far from your typical beach vacation, this is a location with secluded beaches so you never have to worry about rushing over to reserve beach chairs for yourself or your party.  Furthermore, the shores are calm and shallow, which make for safe conditions to play in, especially if you are travelling with children.

The history of the Cook Islands is rooted in its deep Polynesian Heritage with a mixture of European influences.   On the same time zone as Hawaii, which makes it rare to experience much jetlag, your sunny escape will provide you with many great vacation adventures!  The white-sandy beaches of the these majestic islands provide a rare, raw beauty coupled with an idyllic climate and much ground to play in, so you’re free to roam or rip around the main island of Rarotonga on a scooter hire.

The Cook Islands are what Hawaii was 50 years ago, except with the modern conveniences and necessities that travellers appreciate. Hawaii has about 8.3 Million visitors per year (an average of 159,615 per week) compared to the yearly number of visitors to the ‘Cooks, which is 121,458! without that typical touristy look-and-feel that no one wants!

The Cook Islands boasts that rare beauty that is untouched, unspoiled, pure and beautiful; the tropical region offers that idyllic climate you can find year-round.
