No Crowded Beaches
In our little paradise, the beach is wherever you are. The best part of finding a long stretch of white sand and blue lagoon, is having it all to yourself.
Lagoon Cruises
A visit to the Cook Islands is simply not complete without a lagoon cruise. This must-do experience in Rarotonga and Aitutaki is a crowd favourite, offering an incredible boat ride with snorkelling amongst a vast array of tropical fish and giant clams, cultural entertainment, live music, a delicious local lunch spread, and some laughs along the way.
SUP, Snorkel or Sea Scooter
Explore the live coral reef all around the island by snorkelling right off the beach, joining a sea scooter tour or jumping on a SUP. Perfect conditions offer both impressive visibility and warm water all year round.
Scuba Diving
Explore an abundance of tropical fish and corals with incredible visibility of up to 195 feet (60 metres) in our warm waters. There are operators that go to several dive spots, which are just a quick boat ride past the reef. If you’ve never been diving you can take the opportunity to get PADI certified in the Cook Islands.
Fishing in our Little Paradise
From tossing a line in the shallows or venturing into the deep blue, all year round is a good time to try your luck.
