Top things to do in Cook Islands
Be immersed in local culture
Learn about the Polynesian culture of the Cook Islands, including traditional medicine, ancestral fishing techniques and legends passed from generation to generation. Watch local artisans create dance costumes and see these in practice in a cultural show.
Discover Mauke
This lesser-visited island is the greenest in all the Cook Islands, with its thick banyan trees and colourful tropical flowers. It also features a truly spectacular cave system, ranging from large underground chambers leading to the sea, to smaller pools scattered around the island.
Experience Aitutaki’s lagoon
Take a cruise around this glorious turquoise lagoon, exploring uninhabited islands, stopping for lunch and a snorkel.
Explore Atiu’s wildlife
Take a guided eco tour around Atiu to search for local wildlife with the island’s resident bird expert. Walk through the rainforest, and search for the endangered and colourful Rimatara lorikeet.
