Kia Orana! Welcome to the Cook Islands 

Kia Orana! Welcome to the Cook Islands 

Consisting of 15 islands, located in the heart of the South 

Pacific and just a 4 hour flight from Auckland is the magical 

Cook Islands. The Cook Islands is divided into two groups, 

the Northern which is mainly volcanic and the Southern 

Group where ninety percent of the population resides. 

Rarotonga, the main island is almost entirely surrounded by 

coral reef ensuring its protected beaches are idyllic and its 

accommodation is seldom far from its shores. Only 32 

kilometres in circumference, it is extremely easy to discover 

this magical island whether it be on a famous scooter, the 

‘island bus’, in a car or jeep. The choice is yours! As you get 

to know the island you will be captivated by the friendliness 

and charm of its people, the lingering fragrance of frangipani 

and the relaxed pace to which you quickly become 

accustomed. The capital Avarua is the commercial centre 

and main port of the Cook Islands. Bustling with activity this 

tropical town offers a variety of shops, restaurants and cafés 

and with various bars offering everything from live bands to 

dance music, the town has an enviable nightlife. Also popular 

with travellers is the beautiful island of Aitutaki, famous for 

its turquoise lagoon, sandy white beaches and spectacular 

marine life. Just a 45 minute scenic flight from Rarotonga, 

you can do a day trip or better still – STAY! Like its famous 

black pearls, the Cook Islands possess a magic and beauty 

second to none.

welcome to aitutaki 

Aitutaki... What dreams are made of! 

A holiday in the Cook Islands is not complete without seeing and staying on the beautiful island of Aitutaki, 220 kilometers 

north of Rarotonga. Only a 45 minute flight away, Aitutaki is the second most visited island of the magical Cook Islands and is 

highly recommended as a “must stay” extension to your Rarotongan holiday. Day trips are also very popular for those who are 

limited for time. 

Air Rarotonga flies three times daily, and cameras are a must, because the aerial views as you get closer to this magical 

South Seas Island are spectacular. Surrounded by an enormous lagoon, guests and visitors alike will fall in love with Aitutaki’s 

clear turquoise waters, sandy white beaches and magnificent marine life. Teeming with coloured fish of many varieties, this 

pretty lagoon is enclosed by a surf topped coral reef and a sprinkling of small and charming uninhabited islands (motus) – 

adding to this island’s great natural beauty and tranquillity. For a small island, Aitutaki has a lot to offer those who are 

fortunate enough to be staying. An assortment of shops are scattered throughout the five villages along the west coast, 

offering handcrafts, souvenirs and island-style fashions. Make your dream holiday in the Cook Islands even more perfect by 

staying on beautiful Aitutaki Island. Considered to be the most idyllic tropical island in the South Pacific – you won’t be 

disappointed. As with Rarotonga, we have recommended some “MUST DO” activities to ensure you really get the most out of 

your stay on Aitutaki. HAVE FUN! 

Must See & Do

One Foot Island: A popular place for picnicking and snorkelling is 

the beautiful motu of Tapuaetai, or One Foot Island, easily located 

about a 20 minute boat ride from a jetty on the south-eastern corner 

of Aitutaki. The whole family will enjoy swimming and snorkelling 

amongst the different varieties of tropical fish attracted to the waters 

surrounding the many small motus in the southern and eastern parts 

of the lagoon. 

Lagoon Cruises: Aitutaki’s lagoon is about 12 kilometres wide 

and 15 kilometres long (north and south). Throughout the lagoon 

are numerous sand bars, coral ridges and 15 motus (islets). The 

surrounding waters are a haven to schools of colourful tropical fish. 

There are a number of established cruise tour operators on the 

island, offering great packages with lunch included. The snorkelling 

is outstanding and the fish so tame that you can hand feed them for 

hours on end. 

Scuba Diving: The geological formation of the outer reef of the island 

provides for some amazing ravine and wall dives. During the latter 

parts of the year, whales frequent the waters to mate and play. Take 

the opportunity to dive with professionals to watch these beautiful 

mammals play. With waters in the lagoon reaching an average depth 

of 5 feet, the coloured corals and tropical fish make for some of the 

best diving in the world. 

Eating Out: Aitutaki has a good range of restaurants offering local 

and international cuisine. For something different, many properties 

and restaurants offer an Island Feast night giving you the chance to 

try local delicacies buffet-style accompanied by the heart stopping 

drums of Aitutaki, for which they are famously renowned.

welcome to the Outer islands 

Outer islands 

Atiu 

Looking for something totally different to do during your stay 

in the Cook Islands? Then escape to Atiu, a small upraised 

coral island located 45 minutes by air from Rarotonga. Ask 

the locals about Atiu and immediately they will talk about the 

fantastic Fibre Arts Studio, the ancient Burial Caves, the 

secluded white sand coves that break Atiu’s rugged 

coastline, the aromatic Atiu Coffee and a 300 year old 

institution, the Tumunu - home brewed fruit beer served from 

the hollowed out trunk of the Coconut Tree, and enjoy the 

birdwatching of the unique Kopeka. 

Mangaia 

Less than 200km Southwest of Rarotonga and just a 45 

minutes flight, Mangaia is the southernmost island of the 

Cook Islands. It is the second largest island and is endowed 

with four distinct geographical regions making it four islands 

in one. Truly a beautiful island with features such as the old 

limestone reef, called Makatea, with magnificent views and 

enjoy adventures exploring through line stone formed caves. 

A very unique and remote island - a great island to 

experience. 

Must See & Do 

Visit Anatatitaki Cave – Learn about the legend of lovers 

Inutoto and Tangaroa as you explore this wonderful cave full of 

stalagmites, stalactites and if you’re lucky you may see a Kopeka 

bird who’s home is within the cave. 

Go fishing – Why don’t you join in on a fishing tour on one of the 

well equipped boats offering you a chance to experience incredibly 

clear indigo blue waters while you try your hand at catching a BBQ 

dinner from a well stocked ocean. 

Trek in Mangaia – Here you can trek for miles along the coast, or 

into the interior and not meet another soul or hear a vehicle, or see 

any dwellings, just lots of well-tended plantations of pineapples, 

vegetables, taro, kumara and a variety of other crops. 

Go shopping – Market day in the town centre of Mangaia is on 

Friday morning and is an excellent opportunity to buy fresh local 

produce and to purchase some local handicraft (‘ei pupu shell 

necklace) from the skilled Mangaian women. 

Discover Motuanga Cave – This huge and magnificent caves 

reaching beneath the reef. 

Visit Oliveta Church – The church has two separate entrances 

and sitting areas for each village. Inside the interior design clearly 

shows two very separate artistic expressions and styles. 

Mauke 

Wanting to escape from the modern world you can do so on 

Mauke. With only 50 minutes flight from Rarotonga you will 

soon discover this pretty island is home to the huge and 

magnificent Motuanga Cave, (meaning Cave of 100 Rooms) 

which has galleries reaching out under the reef. Mauke is a 

peaceful island in all ways, but rich in history, both pre- 

European and after. It offers numerous coves and white 

beaches as well as caves in which to swim, although having 

said that, there are better swimming areas in general on 

other islands. There are no cafés or restaurants and main 

mode of transport is bicycles.

We endeavour to keep travel agents informed of any changes 

to information in this brochure that are brought to our attention. 

Prior to booking your ticket, you should ask your travel agent 

about any changes to the published information of which your 

agent may be aware. You should also make sure that if your 

travel agent is advised of changes that occur after booking, 

your travel agent is able to contact you. 

4.4 All maps, illustrations and photographs are for indicative 

purposes only and may not necessarily reflect actual places or 

positioning. 

4.5 Accommodation must be consecutive at the same hotel to 

qualify for free nights. Important: Hotels have the right to 

change conditions e.g. 5th night free. Bonus offers: e.g. free 

upgrade or late checkouts are subject to availability at time of 

stay. 

5. Prices 

5.1 All prices shown in this brochure are on a per person basis 

unless otherwise stated and are expressed in New Zealand 

dollars. Vehicle rates are per vehicle. 

5.2 Events beyond our control, such as currency fluctuations, 

changes to the price of aviation fuel or changes to the cost of 

services and facilities may result in the prices charged to you 

being different. 

5.3 It must be understood that if for any of the reasons mentioned 

in Clause 5.2 price increases or variation of terms are notified 

to us between the time of booking and departure, we reserve 

the right to vary the price to you up to the time of your 

departure. 

5.4 Prices are based on a composite package of land and air 

content. If one only is sought a different basis of cost will apply. 

5.5 All prices exclude travel agent service fees. 

6. Payment 

6.1 A deposit of $100 must be paid to your travel agent within 

seven (7) days of verbal or written confirmation of booking 

request. Certain Suppliers may also require an additional 

booking fee or deposit to be paid. 

6.2 A booking requested less than seven (7) days prior to departure 

may incur communication charges. 

6.3 Final payment shall in all cases by made not less than 30 days 

prior to departure. In some cases the terms of the tour or travel 

may require full payment at an earlier date. In that case you will 

be advised at the time your booking is processed. 

6.4 Credit Card not permitted unless travel agent acts as merchant. 

7. Amendment or Cancellation 

7.1 If you wish, or circumstances require you to amend or cancel 

your booking for any reason, you should advise us in writing 

through your travel agent at the earliest possible time. 

7.2 Where you cancel any booking more than thirty (30) days prior 

to your departure you are likely to have to pay a fee. A 

cancellation fee of $200 will be imposed where cancellation is 

made within thirty (30) days prior to your departure, plus any 

suppliers charges as per note 7.3. Please refer however to 

Clause 7.6 for special conditions in some cases. 

7.3 The above cancellation fees are required to offset booking, 

communication and administration charges that will have 

already been incurred by us. In addition to our cancellation fee, 

you may also be required to pay cancellation fees imposed by 

our Suppliers (i.e. airlines, hotels, etc.) The amount of each 

Supplier’s cancellation fee is beyond our control, and payment 

is solely your responsibility. You should check with your travel 

agent concerning the amount of a Supplier’s cancellation fees. 

7.4 To the extent that we are able to do so (bearing in mind we are 

dependent upon third party availability beyond our control) we 

will be pleased to incorporate any reasonable changes you 

request. An itinerary change may attract a fee similar to 

cancellation fees in Clause 7.2 above to cover our 

administration costs. 

7.5 Some Suppliers may reserve the right to cancel or amend 

travel, accommodation, etc and GO Holidays must therefore 

reserve similar rights to cancel or amend any holiday 

arrangements. 

7.6 There are cases where the terms of supply as to refundability of 

pre-payments require provisions different from the above. In 

those cases the conditions specific to your tour will be advised 

to you at the time your booking is processed. 

8. Insurance 

We strongly recommend that as a minimum you insure yourself 

fully against cancellation, disruption, loss of luggage and 

personal property, and medical expenses. Your travel agent will 

be able to provide you with further information. 

9. Items Not Covered 

Unless otherwise specified, the cost of meals, drinks, laundry, 

telephone calls, insurance, sightseeing tours, local taxes, 

airport departure taxes, aviation insurance levies and passport 

or visa application fees are not included. 

10. Package Costs 

Included in the tour costs are charges for normal booking 

procedure costs, communication costs, administration, 

research, printing, etc. Where the land arrangements of 

holidays are included in a composite package, an itemisation of 

costs will not be rendered. 

11. Visas / Passports 

For all holidays in this brochure you will require a valid 

passport. You are responsible for arranging your own passport, 

visa and health requirements (including inoculation where 

applicable). You should check with your travel agent who will 

be able to provide you with the necessary information. 

12. Non-Use of Services or Facilities 

If, of your own choice, you decide not to use part or parts of 

the arranged services or facilities, you will not be entitled to a 

refund from us (provided we have carried out our service with 

reasonable skill and care and to your requirements) and you 

may not be entitled to a refund from any Supplier. 

13. GO Holidays Charter for Addressing Problems 

In the event that you should strike a problem or you are 

dissatisfied with some aspect of the services or facilities during 

the course of your trip, our recommendation is that you take 

the matter up directly with the supplier of the service at the 

time, or as soon as practicable in the circumstances. This 

provides the opportunity to have the matter discussed and 

investigated on the spot and a remedy negotiated then and 

there to enable you to continue enjoying your holiday. We have 

found from experience that it is very difficult (in some countries 

impossible) for us to obtain redress for you once travel has 

been completed. If this does not work, we wish to be involved 

at the earliest possible moment and our commitment is that we 

will immediately work on resolving the issue to your 

satisfaction. 

14. Health or Disability 

Some Suppliers may reserve the right to refuse to carry or 

accommodate people who, because of a health condition or 

disability, may require services or facilities to be provided in a 

special manner or at a certain stage of pregnancy. You should 

check this with your travel agent. 

15. Legal Claims 

The laws of New Zealand will govern any claims or legal action 

in connection with the provision of our services to you. Any 

claim or legal action against the Suppliers is likely to be subject 

to the terms of your contract with them, and may be governed 

by the laws of other countries.
