Most Searched Packages

The Cook Islands are the South Pacific at a slower pace: Rarotonga, a green volcanic island you can circle in under an hour, and Aitutaki, whose lagoon is one of the most photographed in the world. No chain hotels, no traffic lights, and a Polynesian welcome that feels genuinely unhurried. Fond Travels packages your flights from the US with island hotels and the hop to Aitutaki, and books it by phone.

What a Cook Islands package can include

  • Round-trip flights from the US to Rarotonga (RAR), typically routed via Honolulu, Auckland, or Tahiti
  • Beachfront resorts and villas on Muri Beach, Rarotonga's west coast, or Aitutaki's lagoon
  • Inter-island flights to Aitutaki, airport transfers, and rental scooters or cars
  • Aitutaki lagoon cruise to One Foot Island, Muri Lagoon kayaking and snorkeling, the cross-island trek, Saturday's Punanga Nui market, an island-night feast

Best time to go

May–October is the dry season: warm days, cooler nights, and calm seas. November–April is hotter and wetter with brief afternoon downpours and generally quieter resorts; humpback whales pass offshore July–October.

Where to stay

  • Muri Beach (Rarotonga): the lagoon side, best swimming and most restaurants
  • Arorangi (Rarotonga): the sunset coast, quieter beaches, snorkeling offshore
  • Aitutaki: small lagoon resorts and overwater bungalows for the honeymoon nights

Yes: 4–5 nights on Rarotonga and 3–4 on Aitutaki is the classic pairing. Aitutaki also works as a day trip if you're short on time.
