Discover the Cook Islands
Our vacation packages to the idyllic Cook Islands include airfare from select West Coast cities on Hawaiian Airlines. Plus, Included Extras and the savings Costco members love.
The pristine weather and laid-back locals are waiting to welcome you to the Cook Islands. Shimmering turquoise waters, filled with vibrant sea life and coral gardens, are surrounded by swaying palm trees and sandy beaches. Just beyond, you'll find colorful flowers, lush tropical greens, and a plethora of island wildlife. Truly experience the richness of Polynesian culture in a place unspoiled by over-development. In fact, there are no buildings in the Cook Islands taller than a palm tree, and yet there is no shortage of things to do! Spend the day hiking the island of Rarotonga, kayak the lagoon waters of Aitutaki, lounge in the sun, and dine under the stars - how you choose to explore is up to you.

More About Cook Islands
Overview
The Cook Islands are an unspoiled South Pacific paradise. Here you will find a collection of atolls and motus surrounding 15 islands, preserved by the coral reefs. This geographical feature creates some of the most transparent turquoise waters in the world. The colorful fish in the surrounding lagoons provide endless entertainment to swimmers, snorkelers, and divers alike.
Rarotonga, the largest and tallest island, is the population center for the archipelago. Rarotonga has so much to experience and explore, yet it remains completely unspoiled. There are no traffic lights, fast food restaurants, and no building taller than the highest coconut tree.
In contrast, Aitutaki is a secluded and romantic island paradise. Home to less than 2,000 people, Aitutaki is a spectacular island with one of the world's most breathtaking lagoons. Here, visitors spend leisurely days relaxing under coconut palms, swimming in the waters, and soaking in the incredible views.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
