TIMES ARE A GUIDE ONLY AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. History of the Cook Islands Cook Islanders are true Polynesians; people of the poly (many) islands of the South Pacific. Connecting directly back to the finest seafarers of the vast Pacific, sophisticated navigation took them through vast ocean tracts in search of new lands and the Cook Islands came into being. The great Polynesian migration began in 1500 BC when the islands were gradually populated by Maori ancestors who landed in their huge ocean going ‘Vaka’ canoes, guided by the stars and the power of Polynesian navigation. But the Cook Islands’ origins are owed to the Polynesians who arrived in Rarotonga around 800 AD. A couple of Spanish explorers sighted the islands of Pukapuka and Rakahanga in 1595 and 1606, then all was quiet in the Cook Islands until 1773 when the great explorer Captain James Cook sighted Manuae, Palmerston, Takutea, Mangaia and Atiu. In 1798 Captain William Bligh first sighted Aitutaki then following the very bloody Mutiny on the Bounty, the buccaneer Fletcher Christian sailed the Bounty into Rarotonga. The first Christian missionaries followed some decades later in 1821 and although their arrival altered many of the traditional ways, the Cook Islanders managed to preserve their proud Polynesian heritage and blend it with their Christian faith beautifully. The Cook Islands became an independent self-governing nation in 1965. The democratic government consists of an elected Parliament, as well as a House of Ariki or hereditary chiefs who provide consultation and advice. 77 Essential Experiences 1. Relaxation 5. Visit a Traditional Village The Cooks is one of the most relaxing destinations on earth. Step into island time and relax by the pool with a cocktail, soak up the sun, treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage or spa treatment, take a walk along the beach and watch a golden sunset. Indulge in the exotic local food and fine wine you’ll find in many great restaurants and bars serving up tempting cuisine. Gain insight into the Cook Islands’ culture with a visit to a traditional village. See traditional Maori methods of cooking, farming, medicine, fishing, carving and costume making. (see pages 20 to 21 and 42 for details) 2. Cultural Performances 3 Arts and Crafts Be captivated by the natural charm of the Cook Island people. They are friendly, high-spirited and welcoming! Listen to the beat of the drums and be amazed by the fire dancers at a fun cultural show. Combine this with a traditional Polynesian feast (umu kai) for an unforgettable experience. (see pages 20 and 22 for details) 3. Arts, Crafts and Black Pearls Handcrafts are highly prized in the Cooks. Among the best-known souvenirs are the intricately woven rito hats, brightly coloured pareu (sarongs), wooden carvings, pate (drums), ukulele and tivaevae (hand-stitched quilts). The most romantic souvenir of course is the cultured black pearl. Avarua, Rarotonga’s capital has a great selection of speciality shops and not to be missed is the colourful Punanga Nui Market held every Saturday morning. (see pages 12 and 21 for details) 4. Fishing Try your hand at game, bone and sport fishing. With fishing areas just beyond the reef, the action commences as soon as you leave the boat harbour. (see page 20 for details) 1 Aitutaki 6. Mountain Treks Join an accredited guide and navigate Rarotonga's Cross Island Trek to the rugged rainforest interior, see Wigmore’s Waterfall and spectacular views from the iconic landmark, The Needle. On Aitutaki hike to the top of Mt Maungapu and be rewarded with panoramic views. 7. Watersports The allure of crystal clear lagoons beckons you to snorkel virtually anywhere inside the reef; an abundance of colourful fish and vibrant corals await you. For water lovers the Cooks is an aquatic playground with a wide range of activities to enjoy. Learn the art of stand up paddle boarding or kayak to a deserted motu. On Rarotonga hire a windsurfer, kite board or catamaran and head to Muri Lagoon for some laid back sailing. 8. Snorkelling and Scuba Diving Dive with the friendly Aitutaki turtles, who love to have their tummies scratched! Divers enter a whole new world in the Cook Islands – fantastic visibility and incredible coral reefs bursting with marine life make the Cooks the best kept secret in the South Pacific. (see pages 20 and 42 for details) 9. Aitutaki Lagoon Make sure you tick Aitutaki Lagoon off your bucket list. With its sparkling turquoise lagoon decorated with 15 motu (islets) and emerald green main island, this is undisputedly one of the most magnificent lagoons in the world. Be sure to mail a postcard and even get your passport stamped at the world’s smallest post office on motu Tapuaetai (One Foot Island). (see pages 19 and 42 for details) 10. Sunday – day of rest and worship 8 Aitutaki 8 After a busy Saturday night, relax on a Sunday like the locals. Receive a warm Cook Islands welcome in one of the local Christian churches and feel your heart sing along with the amazing harmonies of the congregation.

Far from the clamour of our everyday urban world, in the vast blueness of the PaciÀc, lies the pristine necklace of the Northern Cook Islands. The remote home of Avaiki pearls. From their clear depths, the profusion of green, blue, aubergine and silvery hues in Avaiki pearls capture the rich colours of the lagoon. For discerning jewellers and jewellery buyers who demand beauty, rarity and integrity, Avaiki pearls have a special appeal. Only the highest grades of pearls sustainably harvested from the lagoon become Avaiki pearls. Their consistently deeper nacre creates higher lustre and resilience - a rare beauty to stand the test of time.

It’s the spot for watersports including sailing, kayaking and swimming. You can also try your hand at windsurfing and kite surfing, thanks to the tradewinds from May to November, or do a bit of whale spotting June to October. Four coral islets are a pretty addition to the lagoon – Koromiri Islet is the pick for weddings. A few bars, restaurants and shops on the beach provide all you need for a relaxing break. Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve, a breeding ground for tropical reef fish, provides another location for fantastic swimming and snorkelling. In fact you’ll be spoilt for choice for fabulous spots along the whole west coast, a long stretch of sandy beach ending at Black Rock. Expect spectacular sunsets from this side of the island. Rarotonga’s mountainous interior, rising to 653 metres, provides a stunning contrast to the coast’s aquatic wonderland. There are plenty of opportunities for action and adventure here, from guided walks to 4WD and quad bike tours.

Collectively, all islands beyond Rarotonga are called the Pa Enua – Outer Islands – but to clumpMANIHIKI them together is to underestimate the variety of their beauty, landscape and the experience that is waiting the more adventurous traveller. These are islands where it is possible to get a rare glimpse into the simplicity and beauty of life as it once was, laid back, surrounded by nature, and connected to community. There are three islands that are only a short 45 to 50 minute flight from Rarotonga but a world away. All three are coral atolls that have been thrust out of the ocean by volcanic activity creating the ‘makatea’ or coral platform – creating a very different landscape and a honeycomb of caves. Spend the evening at the Tumunu, a local tradition on Atiu On Mitiaro swim in the cool depths among the stalagmites of Vainauri Atiu, with its exotic birdlife hiding amidst the jungle is an island of wild rainforest, distant birdcalls, stunning beaches and cave dwelling birds – nothing is what you expect! Ancient Marae (communal or sacred place) SUWARROW have been uncovered and are being restored; giant ferns cling to huge trees above as you walk, cycle or drive the roads around the island; huge stretches of beaches beg to be explored. Enjoy an Atiu Island coffee that has been traditionally roasted in coconut cream on an open fire. Birdman George is a must to meet – the name says it all. At night, join in the Tumunu – a local tradition of joining together at the end of the day over a coconut shell of orange ‘beer’ in the bush. Bird watch at Mangaia’s Lake Tiriara Watch one of the Mamas weaving a special Mitiaro mat Tour Atiu Coffee factory and finish with a coffee at Atiu Fibre Arts Studio Mitiaro is the smallest island of the Southern Islands group, with less that 150 residents. It’s a land of mischievous fun loving people who welcome visitors to their little island with humour and generosity. Stay in bed and breakfast accommodation in traditional style huts connected to family homes – a true local experience. Explore Vainauri, a hidden pool filled with cool clear water for swimming among stalagmites and stalactites or O C E A N Te Vai Marere known for its healing properties. Explore the island of Mangaia by bike Learn about the endangered Kakerori birds and the historical sites of Atiu with Birdman George Mangaia is the oldest island in the Pacific and its towering double makatea rises sharply from the clear Pacific waters until it reaches the middle of the island. Here, a hidden garden awaits, it is an island of concealed coves, huge cave systems and a bird watchers paradise – an island of contrasts, of harsh beauty and of adventure!
