COOK ISLANDS
A visit to the Cook Islands is a visit to paradise. This collection of south seas islands has its own very special magic. There are 15 islands within the Cook Islands nation and together they cover a total land area of about 240sq km, spread over more than 2 million sq km of the south-west Pacific Ocean. The main island of Rarotonga is 1630 nautical miles north-east of Auckland. Rarotonga is the location of the seat of government and is home to more than half the Cook Islands population of about 19,000.
