The Country
The guide was updated:
Scattered across 2 million square kilometres of the South Pacific, the Cook Islands may have a modest landmass of just 241 square kilometres, but they make up with exceptional brilliance.
Named after the famous explorer Captain Cook, these islands are a hidden gem, offering everything from sandy beaches fringed with coconut palms to lush, mountainous interiors teeming with exotic tropical birds. Yet, it’s not only the breathtaking landscapes that entice visitors; the world-class game fishing, diving, and snorkelling draw enthusiasts from around the globe. Be warned, though—many who come for a visit end up staying for a lifetime.
