For the ultimate in relaxation surrounded by picture perfect island scenery, look no further than a combination of two of the most beautiful islands within the Cooks during your holiday.

Rarotonga has long been welcoming visitors to its lagoon-lapped shores and offers a range of stunning beachfront accommodation behind the backdrop of its lush volcanic peak interior.

Your Itinerary

Day 1 to 5 - Rarotonga

Upon arrival into Rarotonga, you’ll receive a traditional Polynesian welcome with a beautiful fresh flower garland before a short transfer to your overnight beachside accommodation.

Spend the next five days exploring the little island of paradise. It is easy to get around by public bus – there are two that service the island, anti-clockwise and a clockwise route! Immerse yourself in the local life by exploring the traditional markets and shops – you will not find any commercial brands on the islands and no high rise buildings as nothing can be built higher than the tallest coconut tree!

Apart from the obvious relaxation pursuits, there are plenty of water and land based activities on offer from snorkelling through the calm waters of the lagoon to trekking the mountainous peaks inland. We have included a half day island discovery tour to help you get your bearings.

Day 6 to 7 - Aitutaki

Board your scenic flight to the jewel in the Cooks’ crown – Aitutaki – to enjoy a blissful two night stay.

The flight will allow you to view the island and its impressive lagoon from the air. We have included a half day cruise around the lagoon and atolls to fully appreciate it from the ground. Discover deserted islands, snorkel through the calm waters teaming with marine life and savour the breath-taking scenery from the comfort of your resort.

Return to Rarotonga for your onward flight.
