The definitive Cook Islands website – the original and most comprehensive Tumunu (messages) Jobs Holiday accommodation Rarotonga Land Court hearings A NET of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India with a population no bigger than a small New Zealand country town, 15,000 souls. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own language and government and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island. Despite some 140,000 visitors a year to the capital island Rarotonga the Cooks are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a different type of vacation. There are no high-rise hotels and very little hype. Ideal for travellers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with the South Seas, each island has its unique qualities and offers the visitor a special experience. en français aussi auf deutsch también en español TABLE OF CONTENTS Geography - Location in Pacific, Map of islands, Distances Aitutaki - Map, geography, history More on Aitutaki - activities, accommodation, lagoon, transport Atiu - Map, geography, history More on Atiu - church, tumunu, arts/crafts, kopeka cave Mangaia - Map, geography, history More on Mangaia - caves, kingfisher, accommodation, crafts Manihiki - Map, geography, history Manuae - Map, geography, history Mauke - Map, geography history More on Mauke - maire , cycling, Dashwood, divided church, accommodation Mitiaro - Map, geography, history Palmerston - Map, geography, history Tongareva - Map, geography, history Pukapuka - Map, geography, history Rakahanga - Map, geography, history Rarotonga - Map, geography, history, average temperatures More on Rarotonga - Sightseeing, food, transport, snorkelling, church, market Suwarrow - Map, geography, history Aitutaki - Map, geography, history More on Aitutaki - activities, accommodation, lagoon, transport Atiu - Map, geography, history More on Atiu - church, tumunu, arts/crafts, kopeka cave Mangaia - Map, geography, history More on Mangaia - caves, kingfisher, accommodation, crafts Manihiki - Map, geography, history Manuae - Map, geography, history Mauke - Map, geography history More on Mauke - maire , cycling, Dashwood, divided church, accommodation Mitiaro - Map, geography, history Palmerston - Map, geography, history Tongareva - Map, geography, history Pukapuka - Map, geography, history Rakahanga - Map, geography, history Rarotonga - Map, geography, history, average temperatures More on Rarotonga - Sightseeing, food, transport, snorkelling, church, market Suwarrow - Map, geography, history History - Pre-European contact, 19th century, today People - Migration, ethnology Art -Culture, dance, literature, crafts Tivaevae - Communal quiltmaking Books - Recommended reading Who's Who - Notable Cook Islanders People - Migration, ethnology Art -Culture, dance, literature, crafts Tivaevae - Communal quiltmaking Books - Recommended reading Who's Who - Notable Cook Islanders Art -Culture, dance, literature, crafts Tivaevae - Communal quiltmaking Books - Recommended reading Who's Who - Notable Cook Islanders Tivaevae - Communal quiltmaking Books - Recommended reading Books - Recommended reading Who's Who - Notable Cook Islanders
