*If you're traveling from Europe, the UK, or the USA to the Cook Islands, we recommend you spread your stay between Rarotonga and Aitutaki, and also add on 3 nights in Atiu, and even Mangaia. Flights depart regularly from Aitutaki to Atiu, and Atiu to Rarotonga or Mangia, so you can add this additional experience on with little extra cost. Each island offers its own unique experience, and guests who have traveled to the Cook Islands from a long distance have reflected they wish they had known of the other islands, and how easy it was to travel between islands.
