Pacific Cook Islands

Welcome to the secret of the Pacific. Breathe in the fresh pure air. Wade into the cool, calm, blue lagoons. Let the untouched charm of these beautiful Cook Islands capture your spirit and hold your heart.

The 15 islands of the Cooks lie halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii, scattered like fragrant frangipani petals floating across 2.2 million square kilometres of a seductive, sensual ocean. Boasting rare beauty, an idyllic climate, warm welcoming people with the widest white smiles and a pace of life unsurpassed for peace: the Cook Islands is Paradise.

Six of these beautiful Cook Islands lie to the north. Described as the stuff that dreams are made of, their remote appeal pulls at the hearts of explorers, adventurers, authors and artists. Each island is unique. Discover the largest atoll, Penrhyn, the intriguing island of Suwarrow with a population of two,PukaPuka with its own language and Manihiki with its treasure trove of black pearls. The palm-fringed pearly white sands framing turquoise lagoons will prove irresistible.

A mix of coral atolls and volcanic islands, a good few of the nine Southern islands could be listed as must see before I die. An idyllic climate, stunning scenery, warm-hearted people and a desirable way of life where hurry has not been coined, make them irresistible. Bush clad volcanic peaks descend to glistening white sands and the inevitable palm-fringedblue lagoons. Rarotonga- the capital - and Aitutaki breathtakingly beautiful dominate the call of the conch.
