Scattered across close to 2.2 million square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean, the territory of the Cook Islands extends from 9º south of the equator at its most northern island of Penryhn, to just above the Tropic of Capricorn for its most southern island of Mangaia. To the west are the islands of Tonga and Samoa, and in the east lies the islands of French Polynesia.
The capital, Rarotonga, is approximately 4 hours direct flight from Auckland, New Zealand, and a mere 12 hours from Los Angles making the Cook Islands a very accessible destination for air travellers.
Visitors travelling to the Cook Islands may find access via three long-haul international airlines, Air New Zealand, Pacific Blue and Air Tahiti Nui, with flights arriving at Rarotonga’s international airport.
Air New Zealand provides regular scheduled services from Australian cities through Auckland, New Zealand to the Cook Islands as well as through London from many European cities , Los Angeles from North American cities and from many Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai ,Tokyo and Beijing through Auckland.
Regional airlines, Air Rarotonga and Air Tahiti code –share and operate flights between Rarotonga and nearby Tahiti, while Air Rarotonga provides domestic airline services to the various islands within the Cook Islands.
