Settled from the 6th century and famously visited by Captain Cook in the 1770s, the tiny Cook Islands are a group of only 15 lush volcanic islands with a total population of around 60,000, with strong ties to New Zealand.

Rarotonga is the main island – a mere 67 sq km in area, but Tailored Journeys can organise a bespoke tour of the Cook Islands featuring Rarotonga, Aitutaki, Atiu and others. This could be geared at finding the best snorkelling and diving, cultural exploration, or total relaxation – in which the Cook Islands, with their distinct laid-back vibe, excel. The Cook Islands boast a great selection of luxury hotels and villas to make your stay in one of the remotest archipelagos on earth uniquely blessed. The Cook Islands are the perfect stand-alone holiday; or add a visit on to a bespoke New Zealand experience. Either way, we can realise your paradise island fantasies: give us a call.
