Got more time? Ask us about extending your trip in the Cook Islands

If you are looking to spend extra time in the Cook Islands, extend your stay in Rarotonga or perhaps add a visit the island of Aitutaki, home to one of the world’s most striking lagoons where you can almost see as far under the water as you can above the water.  If you want to venture even further afield, you could visit Atiu, the first place Captain Cook discovered in the group of 15 islands now known as the Cook Islands. It is home to the extremely rare Kopeka Birds that behave like bats and you can go deep into their caves to see them hanging upside down.
