The Cook Islands are the undiscovered secret of the South Pacific. Accessible via non-stop flight from Los Angeles you can jump on this 9 1/2 hour Air New Zealand flight and wake up ready to live like a local in paradise!
Visitors renting a house or villa in the Cooks can experience the life of a South Pacific Islander all with the creature comforts of home. Accessible restaurants and markets, easy transportation and an endless bounty of beautiful white sand beaches, crystal clear lagoon and lush jungle landscapes. With English as a predominantly used language the Cook Islands are easy for international visitors and with no traffic lights or fast food restaurants guests are completely transported into an ideal vacation setting.
Perhaps most enticing of all the currency is the affordable New Zealand dollar ($1USD = $1.2NZD). This little destination packs big bang for buck!
