Beautiful Cook Islands Resort & Holiday



The Cook Islands is a collection of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific. As a holiday destination, only two of these have a developed tourist infrastructure with beach resorts, restaurants and day tours, and it is on these two islands that cater to more than 95% of all tourists. The remaining islands are a happy mix with traditional fishing villages, with some great eco touring opportunities on Atiu Island and half a dozen extremely remote atoll islands in the north where black pearls are farmed in the lagoons.


Rarotonga


Rarotonga is the main island in the Cook Islands and where almost 90% of tourists spend their entire holiday. Rarotonga has lush tropical mountains, pretty coastal scenes, lots of picturesque sandy beaches and a very slow pace of life. Whilst the Polynesian inhabitants have lost much of their traditional culture and heritage, the islanders retain a very laid back lifestyle mixed with an inherited business sense from its protectorate, New Zealand, and hence there are lots of small local enterprises, locally owned tourist accommodations and a healthy social infrastructure. English is widely spoken and the weather is absolutely bliss - not too hold, never cold. The Cook Islanders are also famed for their impressive hip swirling and leg wobbling dance performances. All in all, this is one of the safest and most relaxing tourist destinations in the world.



Aitutaki


Aitutaki Cook Islands is one of the most exquisite lagoons in the world. The lagoon itself is large - the largest island in the Cook Islands, Rarotonga, can fit inside it. The lagoon is 12 km across its base and 15km from top to bottom. The main island is called Aitutaki - it is a flat island on the north section of the lagoon and has most of the tourist accommodation with pleasant beaches. There are another 20 small uninhabited islands (motu) along the edge of the lagoon, most on the east fringe, and these are the destination of day cruises for its glorious picture postcard beaches and fine snorkelling in the lagoon.
