Beautiful Pacific is a family operated travel specialist based in the South Pacific offering a reliable yet competitive booking service. We know the islands intimately and have selected only the best resorts so you can be sure of a great holiday experience. We have been able to negotiate great deals direct with the resorts and can pass on these savings to you, without a middle man taking some of the profits. You will find the majority of our prices to be at least 5% cheaper than buying direct from the resort and in many cases your savings will be substantially greater. But remember, you pay for what you get, and unlike other travel agents we don't use every conceivable trick to make our prices seem cheap, and we don't cut corners to save money - our efficient booking service is what makes our business successful. All our prices are quoted in local New Zealand Dollars (NZ$), are quoted for 2 people and include all government taxes (which in the Cook Islands are quite substantial).
