Cook Islands
The Cook Islands contain some of the most diverse scenery of any island group in the South Pacific. The scent of frangipani lingers in the air, clear turquoise waters gently stroke the white sandy shores, and the gentle wind sways the fronds of coconut palms.
The magical tranquillity is only matched by the people themselves. A smiling face greets you at every turn, the hospitality is warm and spontaneous, and the mood relaxed.
The Cooks are a great place to stop over en route to Downunder, travelling around the Pacific or around the World.
They are also a fabulous one-stop vacation destination. IslandsEscapes can custom make an escape for you that includes the best airfare.
The Cook Islands are perfect for honeymoons.
