The Cook Islands
Still undiscovered by Americans
Here you’ll discover untouched charm and pristine beauty in the remoteness of central Polynesia. The Cook Islands share the same time zone as Hawai’i, and the same distance south of the equator that Hawai’i is north. Yet it is only a six-hour flight away from Hawaiian Airlines Honolulu hub, well within reach of the 15 gateways in the continental U.S. The Cook Islands are made up of 15 islands spread across 750,000 square miles of Pacific Ocean. Rarotonga, the main island of the Cook Islands, is the most visited island and north of Rarotonga is the second most visited island, Aitutaki. Come and explore the wonders of a little paradise!
Hawaiian Airlines are excited to soon offer the island nation’s only non-stop flights to and from the U.S., between Honolulu (HNL) and Rarotonga (RAR), launching on May 20, 2023, just in time for summer vacations. Terms apply.

Rarotonga-like one big resort
When you land in Rarotonga, the main island in the Cook Islands, you are “there”. Rarotonga’s airport is lagoon-side. Here you are not confined to one resort property, miles from everything else; all of Rarotonga is a resort. Easily accessible, no stoplights, no buildings taller than a coconut tree, yet modern luxury exists!

Aitutaki
Aitutaki is a breathtakingly beautiful island located 45mins by flight north of the island of Rarotonga. Known for its crystal-clear lagoon, pristine white sandy beaches, and magnificent coral reefs, Aitutaki offers a perfect tropical paradise getaway for North Americans seeking an unforgettable vacation experience

Modern Polynesian culture
It’s easy to engage with the friendly Maori people in the Cook Islands, learn their history, converse with them at the local markets and gatherings, and witness their impressive drumming and dancing talents. They're eager to share their culture and customs making for an unforgettable travel experience that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
