Itinerary
- Day 1
Rarotonga
You'll arrive in Rarotonga and check into your hotel from 2 PM onward. The island is the largest in the Cook Islands, though don't let that fool you - it's quite compact with just one main road that circles the entire 32-kilometer coastline, so getting around is straightforward. Spend the rest of the day settling in and getting your bearings in this peaceful spot.
Optional Activities
- Cycle around Rarotonga on a relaxed excursion

Rarotonga to Aitutaki
After heading to the airport, you'll board a scenic flight to Aitutaki. From the air, the lagoon below is something special - it rivals Bora Bora but stays quieter, and you'll spot numerous small islets called motus scattered across the turquoise water. The views during this short flight give you a real sense of the geography before you land.
