The Bahrain World Trade Center is one of the country’s most recognisable landmarks and a defining feature of its skyline. The complex is open to the public, where you can admire its striking architecture, explore the popular MODA Mall, or dine in its restaurants. The twin towers are connected by three skybridges, each fitted with a wind turbine, an innovative feature that harnesses the strong Gulf winds. On breezy days, you can often see them turning. Frequently featured on postcards and travel guides, this building has become a modern symbol of Bahrain.

Originally constructed in 1912 and rebuilt after WWII in 1956, the Tsūtenkaku Tower stands 103 meters tall and gives you an outstanding view of all of Osaka. When on top you can venture to step on the platform with a guide and safety belt to experience some exciting vertigo.

For divers, the outer reefs surrounding Rarotonga and Aitutaki are exceptional, offering visibility often exceeding 30 metres year-round. The dive sites feature fascinating underwater landscapes, including canyons, caves, swim-throughs, and towering drop-offs. While some areas can reach impressive depths, the most popular dive sites are typically shallower. Notable dive experiences include exploring the Alexander wreck near Rarotonga.

The Cook Islands Christian Church in Avarua is a striking old building crafted from white coral, originally erected in 1853. It's well worth a visit, particularly for its intriguing graveyard. In front of the church, you’ll find a monument dedicated to Papeiha, a Polynesian missionary, and the grave of Albert Henry, the first Prime Minister of the independent Cook Islands, complete with a life-size bust.
