Cook Islands

With 15 islands to choose from, Cook Island holidays provide a range of experiences for visitors seeking a tropical island getaway. Named after Captain James Cook, who visited the islands in the 1770s, the Cook Islands are scattered over a vast area of the South Pacific and range from towering Raratonga, the country's largest island, to the low, oval islands of the south and lonely, isolated atolls of the north.

Whether you are seeking a romantic, relaxing or adventurous holiday, the Cook Islands are an ideal destination. Cook Island holidays are the perfect castaway escape whether you are seeking a pampering resort or family-friendly holiday. Escape Travel can tailor make your next Cook Islands holiday.

The Cook Islands are favoured with one of the most pleasant tropical climates in the world. December to April is the hurricane season, with an average of one every other year. The country, once a British protectorate, is now a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand.

The majority of the people of the Cook Islands are Polynesian and are renowned as some of the most pleasant, agreeable people in the world. Smile and say kia orana (may you live on) and you're assured of an enjoyable conversation. Cook Islands dancers are also renowned for giving the finest performances in the South Pacific.

The most visited island is Raratonga, one of the most beautiful islands in Polynesia. Twisting valleys lead up to steep ridges and towering mountains carpeted with lush green vegetation and crowned by clouds. A reef circles the island, defining a lagoon with broad sandy beaches to the south, where the snorkelling is best.
