Little islands. Long, lovely days.

Cook Islands, at your pace.

Make yourself at home on Rarotonga. Find a favourite café, watch the light change over the lagoon and enjoy the pleasure of having nowhere urgent to be. Aitutaki is an optional second chapter.

A place to start

Rarotonga, with optional Aitutaki

Your kind of stay

Getting there & around

Rarotonga has buses, taxis and rental cars. Aitutaki requires a separate flight. Check arrival times, luggage handling and the number of connections from Canada.

Comfort, in the little details.

Ask these questions before you book.

  • Choose a property near the places you want to visit regularly.
  • Check the walk from your room to the beach, including any sand or steps.
  • Ask about bus boarding, shade and a private transfer alternative.

Access varies by property and activity. Ask providers to confirm your specific needs in writing.

A little structure. Plenty of space.

Use this sample outline as a starting point, and adapt it to your interests.

  1. Settle into one comfortable base on Rarotonga.
  2. Alternate lagoon time with cafés, a market visit and quiet afternoons.
  3. Add a guided cultural evening, with transport arranged both ways.
  4. Stay longer in one place, or plan Aitutaki with extra transfer time.

Plan with confidence.

Check current conditions before booking.
