"Come to the Cooks for its people and its beauty".

Our culture stems from the Polynesian arrival in the islands around 800AD.
This was part of the great Polynesian migration. In the 11th century a
famous chief named Toi built the first inland coral road in Rarotonga,
called the Ara Metua. Nearly two centuries later the chiefs, Karika, from
Samoa, and Tangiia Nui, from Tahiti, joined forces at sea to conquer the
earlier inhabitants.

Although the Cook Islands stand apart from any other destination in the
world with it's diversity of attractions, beautiful landscapes, welcoming
faces, magnificent beaches and its people devotion to the land, the Cook
Islands are filled with magnificent natural beauties, pristine spots, and
fantastic get-away resorts as well as an incredible abundance of flora &
fauna which dot the islands.
The Cook Islands' people are truly proud of their island(s). Visitors soon
realize that the Cooks is no longer waiting to be discovered, but instead
needs to be" re-discovered". The Cook Islands culture has changed a great
deal from its first settler's original arrival. These islands of Cooks
remain fiercely attractive to the visitor who comes here in search of fun,
adventure, experience and isolation, their own perhaps. More significantly
the journey to Vanuatu should be undertaken to seek an understanding of a
way of life that is truly unique.
