Cook Islands
 A special place ...
a special people ...
a special magic ...
an unforgettable Pacific experience! |
The Cook Islands lies nestled between the islands of Tahiti (1 hour flight) and Fiji (3 hour flight). The easiest way to locate it on a map is to find Hawaii, and do a mirror reflection of Hawaii over the equator.
There are 15 islands in the Cook Islands, divided up into two groups: the Northern and Southern Groups. Show me a map.
Rarotonga, the main island is the hub of the Cook Islands and also its biggest island. Rarotonga is a volcanic island (although the volcanos are long extinct). This means its interior is mountainous and laden with lush tropical rain forests. The island is encircled by a reef providing some idyllic swimming spots. Rarotongan’s live on the coast.
 Apart from Rarotonga and Aitutaki, the other islands are less frequently visited. A visit to islands such as Mauke, Mitiaro, Mangaia, Atiu in the Southern Group would be like taking a step back in time. The people are incredibly friendly and go out their way to please you and ensure that you never want to leave. There are regular flights to these islands. There are also weekly flights to the Northern Group islands of Penrhyn and Manihiki. Cook Islands black pearls are cultured in these islands. The other Northern Group islands of Rakahanga, Pukapuka, Nassau and Suwarrow are only accessible by cargo ship, approximately once a month.
 In its entirety, the Cook Islands has more ocean (2.2 million sq. km) than land (240 sq. km) space.
The majority of the population is ethnic Maori, followed by European. |
