Are you looking to experience coconut trees, beautiful beaches and a warm summer breeze? Then the Cook Islands in the South Pacific has you covered. The island is associated with New Zealand but is a free-governing island. The two islands we will focus on are Aitutaki and Rarotonga, two of the most popular of the 15.
The best time to visit is during their dry season of May through October, but Rarotonga is known to be sunny pretty much all year round.
