If you are looking to spend extra time in the Cook Islands, you may choose to add a visit the islands of Aitutaki or Atiu. Aitutaki is home to one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons where you can almost see as far under the water as you can above the water. Atiu was 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.
