The Cook Islands provide a rare opportunity to escape to an unspoilt paradise. There are no highways or high-rise hotels, so if you are looking for a relaxed island vacation, then this is it! Crystal clear lagoons, white beaches, colourful reefs, swaying coconut palms and good food are within easy reach of the most laid-back traveller wanting tropical relaxation, but the more active visitor can dive deep into the reef, climb mountains, venture into caves and seek out rare birds.
Situated on the sunset side of the international dateline, the Cook Islands are in the heart of Polynesia, just north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Tonga and Samoa lie to the west and French Polynesia lies to the east. The Cook Islands are spread over a very large area of the South Pacific and are diverse in their formation.
There is a close association with New Zealand, and the trading currency is New Zealand dollars.
