Situated at the very centre of Polynesia, a mere four-hour flight from New Zealand, the #CookIslands is an archipelago nation comprised of 15 islands. It is spread across an area in the South Pacific three times the size of Texas.
According to legend, these tiny islands, dotted amongst the vast ocean, were discovered thousands of years ago by the very finest Polynesian seafarers. Guided by the stars and using other sophisticated navigation techniques, they landed their legendary double hulled Vakas and set about creating paradise.
It has been almost 250 years since Captain Cook became the first European to discover these islands and yet there is a gentle timelessness that endures here. #Vacation here and discover the generous rhythm and warm hospitality of the Cook Islands for yourself.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

It's like Hawaii in the 1900's before Hilton; no high rise at all. I stayed at a beach bungalow in Rarotonga and a luxury resort in Aitutaki but my favorite is the Islander Hotel by the airport in Rarotonga. It's rustic, seaside and open restaurant with chickens and cats roaming around. I was expecting Humphrey Bogart and the beautiful German spy Marelena Dietrich to show up at the bar.
It was Pedro Fenandez De Quiro a Portuguese Spainiard the first european who discovered the islands. He landed in Rakahanga in 1606. Captain James Cook arrived in 1773 and named the islands Hervey Islands. Fifty years later a Russian Admiral Adam Johann Von Krusenstern named the islands after James Cook. Which is the Cook Islands.
Oh how beautiful love to go there wow xx
Cook Islands must be independent country.
These beaches look like the ones where they filmed Pirates of the Caribbean.
