The Cook Islands' magical tranquility is only matched by the people themselves...a smiling face and friendly wave greets you at every turn. Located approximately 710 miles from Tahiti, the tiny “capital” island of Rarotonga (20 miles around) is your port of entry to these delightful islands. The native language is a dialect of the Maori language similar to that spoken in New Zealand or Tahiti, however the official language is English. Try snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, golf, horseback riding along the beach, hiking into the interior or an extension to the island of Aitutaki.

Spread across a vast expanse of ocean approximately midway between Hawaii and Australia, the 300 sun drenched islands of Fiji range in size from the large mountainous main island of Viti Levu to tiny uninhabited atolls. You are greeted everywhere with smiling faces and an enthusiastic welcome of “bula.” There are several excellent resorts within minutes of the Nadi International Airport ranging from budget to deluxe. Venturing along the Coral Coast you’ll discover the well known Fijian Resort. Or, travel offshore to one of the casual island resorts nestled inside the barrier reef.
