THE QUICKEST way to the Cook Islands, is, of course, by air. The most romantic is by ocean liner. If you have plenty of time and the wherewithal the best method is probably by yacht. Then you could spend weeks navigating your way around all the northern atolls and seeing the South Seas the way the ancient voyagers did. There are special events and festivals throughout the year and you may wish to time your visit to coincide with these. Activities for visitors are many and varied. They include hiking, pony trekking, diving (both scuba and snorkelling), sports and game fishing, cultural tours, bird-watching tours, scenic flights, golf, tennis, squash and lawn bowls. Arts and crafts can be bought on Rarotonga as well as black pearls which is a major industry in these islands.
