About the Cook Islands

The Best Kept Secret of Polynesia

Beautiful beaches
Tropical rain forest
The beautiful sunny Cook Islands are made up of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific, situated between Tahiti and Tonga. Even though around 90,000 visitors come to the islands each year, especially to the main island Rarotonga, the Cooks are still largely unspoiled by tourism.

The islands boast the most beautiful beaches, volcanic mountain peaks and tropical rain forest. The Cook Islands are sparsely populated with about 16000 unique and friendly Polynesians, who have their own language and government, enjoying a dynamic, rich and diverse culture.

The keyword for visitors to the Cook Islands is tranquillity. There are no high-rise hotels to be found, and very little fuss. It’s an ideal destination for travellers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with the Pacific, with every island offering its unique qualities for a truly unique holiday experience.
