A net of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India with a population no bigger than a small New Zealand country town; 14,000 souls. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own language and government, and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island.
Despite some 90,000 visitors a year to the capital island – Rarotonga – the Cooks are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a different type of vacation. There are no high-rise hotels, and not a single international chain resort to be found. Instead you will be greeted by family owned and operated boutique resorts that emphasize personalized experiences. In short, this is the ideal destination for travelers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with a South Pacific vacation.
