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.

  • 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.

  • Lagoon cruises

    Cruises around Aitutaki and Rarotonga are the perfect way to spend a day as you explore and discover the many wonders that are found in the lagoons here. Most cruise operators usually include a swim, a barbecue lunch, a beach stroll and a snorkelling trip as part of your lagoon cruise, so that you take in the best that these islands have to offer.
