you a stay of up to 31 days, but this is currently under review in order to allow visitors the choice of
staying up to six months at a time. In the meantime, extensions are granted on a monthly basis – for up
to five months. Remember to apply two weeks before your visa expires. Sailors wanting to berth their
yachts in the docks of Avatiu Harbour need to obtain moorings from the Harbourmaster at the Ports
Authority, PO Box 84, Rarotonga.
Customs: With the Cook Islands’ close ties to New Zealand, personal effects including sports equipment
and clothing are exempt from duty. Duty Free items include:
* 299 cigarettes or
* 250gms of tobacco or
* 50 cigars
* Two litres of wine or spirits or

packed produce are also permitted but not fruits and plants – these must be declared at Customs
otherwise they could be confiscated.
Departure Tax: There is a Departure Tax of $NZ65 for each adult, but children under 12 are exempt.
The Departure Tax is included as part of your international airline ticket.
Local Air Transport: The Southern Group of the Cook Islands is connected regularly by the local
airline, Air Rarotonga, with Aitutaki having several daily return flights. However travel to the Northern
Group is infrequent and usually only on request.
Medical Services: A range of medical and dental services are available in Rarotonga which also includes
a hospital. Aitutaki and Atiu also have limited medical aid with very small hospitals. Emergency services
operate on Rarotonga and there is an optometrist plus several pharmacies for prescriptions. Medical
and dental services are available and there is a well-equipped hospital with New Zealand trained staff
situated in Rarotonga, with a smaller hospital in Aitutaki. There are no venomous snakes and most of
the insects are innocuous - but look out for centipedes which do bite. The coral reefs should be treated
with caution.
Currency: The Cook Islands’ unit of currency is the New Zealand dollar, supplemented by notes and
coinage for local use. The unique local coins and notes are not negotiable outside the Cook Islands, but
are keenly sought by collectors worldwide.

Climate: The Cook Islands enjoy a pleasantly warm and sunny climate all year round. June to August
are the cooler months, whilst November to March marks the warmer season, with occasional tropical
showers expected. It is also known as cyclone season – something to be aware of although not necessarily
a deterrent as they are not a regular occurrence. The drier months, from April to November, have an
average of about 26°C, whilst the warmer, more humid and damp season runs from December to March.
