Reasons To
Visit The Cook Islands

  • Cook Islands Christian Church

    The CICC is vitally important to most islanders for whom it has a profound influence on everything they do every day. Visitors are most welcome to attend a church service which take place on Sunday mornings and evenings and several mornings during the week. The service is in Maori but foreign visitors are made to feel very welcome as long as they dress smartly in long dresses and trousers.

  • Culture

    Cook Islanders consider themselves true Polynesians and are very proud of their Maori and Maohi heritage. However, equal importance needs to be given to the influence of Christian missionaries on this society. Today, an unusual yet harmonious blend of Christianity and ancient pagan traditions exists in the Cooks and is a wonderful example of how two vastly different beliefs can coexist peacefully.

    Culture

  • December Parades

    The stunning flora of the Cooks is celebrated in all its glory in December. Parades of beautifully decorated floats cram the streeets, and there are prizes for the most impressively decorated government buildings.

  • Diving

    The best dive sites in this tropical paradise are found off the islands of Rarotonga and Aitutaki with plenty of scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities available both inside and outside the reef. Surrounded by beautiful lagoons, both Rarotonga and Aitutaki have a wealth of marine life to explore.

Rarotonga Beach Bungalows

Rarotonga

Just five beach bungalows make up this tiny, yet quintessentially Polynesian, beach hideaway: Kick off your shoes, throw away your watch and enjoy the peace and quiet of Rarotonga.

Each bungalow faces a stretch of powdery white-sand beach that leads you down to a protected marine sanctuary - a stretch of irresistibly glassy ocean.

The bungalows themselves reflect the essence of the Cooks, with muted natural materials contrasting with cheerful furnishings and walls bright with local art.

Private outdoor showers offer a taste of the exotic and as each bungalow is self-contained you can take each day at island pace.
