COOK ISLANDS
Ten Activities That You Have To Do In The Cook
Islands
by: Jonathan Williams
The Cook Islands is also called Hawaii down under
as its climate is almost the same as that of Hawaii’
s. But nevertheless, the Cook Islands has had its
share of the tourists and vacationers yet still
retained its quaintness. Here are ten reasons, or
activities, why people keep coming back to this
wonderful haven.
1.) Canoeing in the Cook Islands
This is a great and fun activity that the Cook Islands
offer. Here, you can rent a canoe and go to the
other small islets located allover Muri Lagoon. This
is a great way to relax and, at the same time, have
an exercise as you row and enjoy the wonderful
scenery around you.
2.) Kayaking in the Cook Islands
Just like canoeing, this is also a wonderful thing to
do. Not only do you get some form of exercise as
you visit one islet to another, but the wonderful sight
of the clear blue waters and the clear skies is
enough to make you fall in love with the place. This
is also a fun activity to share with a loved one.
3.) Riding the glass-bottomed boat
If you are tired of canoeing or kayaking or if you do
not want to row, then it is best if you ride the glass-
bottomed boat in the lagoon. This is a good way to
see the Cook Island’s native marine life without
getting wet. This is a perfect alternative to
snorkeling or diving.
4.) Snorkeling in the Cook Islands
If you want to get close and personal with the
marine wildlife, then you should try snorkeling. There
are so many corals here that are home to thousand
of species of fishes that their sight will truly be a
magnificent one. Plus, you also have the assurance
that there are no sharks or poisonous sea snakes
nearby that can scare even seasoned divers.
5.) Scuba diving in the Cook Islands
If snorkeling is not enough for you, then dive deep
down to the corals and stay for a longer period of
time. This way, you will get the adventure of your
lifetime without interruption. You can also try Cook
Islands’ many caves for a cave diving experience.
6.) Gamefishing in the Cook Islands
This activity is perfect for the avid fishermen who
are on vacation. The Cook Islands is home to a lot
of gamefish like marlin and yellow fin tuna. Who
knows, you might catch the biggest fish you have
ever caught here.
7.) Hiking in the Cook Islands
Tired of activities done in the sea? Then it is time to
go hiking and nature walks. The best place for you
to take your nature walks as well as enjoy the
magnificent view of sea and land is the Rarotonga
where you can see a myriad of birdlife as well as
other animals native to the islands.
8.) Sightseeing in the Cook Islands
There are so many places to see here like the
Marae or sacred places. You can also visit the
islands’ CICC Churches in Rarotonga. For an
unforgettable view, you should also visit the Seven
Coconut Trees as well as the Ara Nui O Toi.
9.) Participating in the Cook Islands’ culture
Of course, there will be dancing and lots of it. You
can participate in the islands’ native dance.
Dancing their native dance is very sensual, and
thus, this is a wonderful prelude to honeymooners
who are on their honeymoon in the Cook Islands.
10.) Touring the Cook Islands
This is also a great way to spend your vacation
here. You can take a guided tour of the Cook
Islands and get to see many more places you might
not have seen when you explore the islands on your
own. Be amazed at the Cook Islands’ wonderful
sights.
