The country is self-governed but closely tied with New Zealand – most international flights to the Cook Islands come through Auckland. The islands, with blue skies, white sand and warm seas, appeal to beach lovers and sports enthusiasts keen to enjoy the stunning landscape. On average 90,000 visitors arrive each year in Raratonga, the capital.

Almost all visitors spend some time on Raratonga, on the small almost circular island, which is surrounded by coral reef. Not surprisingly, it is a popular place for snorkelling and diving. The centre of the island is mountainous and good for hiking and biking.
