Destination Profile
Cheap flights to Cook Islands from Australia will whisk you past New Zealand and over the International Date Line to a country that's the essence of a South Pacific paradise. Just hours after touching down, you can be leaving footprints on the coral sands of Muri Beach. You could be swinging in a hammock between the stooping coconut trees of Arorangi. You could be diving through the crystalline waters of the Aitutaki Lagoon in the company of sea cucumbers and goatfish. Most tickets will take you to the energetic capital of Rarotonga, from where it's easy to break out to the honeymoon resorts and remote rock pools alike.
Crank up the romance by choosing a stay just back from the cotton-white sands and swaying coconut groves of beautiful Muri Beach.
The almost-atoll of Aitutaki encircles a lagoon of impossibly turquoise ocean water, where you can snorkel and dive with amazing marine wildlife.
An introduction to the unique blend of South Sea island life and Polynesian culture that awaits in the Cook Islands is on offer at the top-rated Te Vara Nui Village.
