Things to do in the Cook Islands

Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands
With 15 tiny islands scattered over an area the size of Western Europe, the Cook Islands offer a diverse range of activities and experiences tinged with an air of escapism.

There are a number of ways to explore the volcanic interior of Rarotonga, the archipelago’s main island, from 4x4 trips deep into the mountains to cultural tours featuring open-air museums.

Further afield, Aitutaki is one of the most striking islands in the South Pacific and can be visited on a day trip. A pristine coral atoll, it is an idyllic place to snorkel in the turquoise waters or relax on the pure white sands.
