Legend and Mystique
Icon

Mangaia is steeped in legend and mystique. Estimated at 18 million years old, it is one of the oldest islands in the Pacific. Mangaia is the most southerly of the Cook Islands and the second largest. It has to be as far from the maddening crowd as any island could possibly be.

Getting to Mangaia

Mangaia is only a 40-minute flight from Rarotonga with Air Rarotonga. A visit to Mangaia is an interesting and exciting excursion away from the beaten track.
