Arriving in the Cook Islands: Private and Peaceful from the Start
Fly into Rarotonga International Airport (RAR) with direct connections from Auckland, Sydney, and Los Angeles. Awake & Wander arranges VIP airport assistance, island-hopping flights, and luxury villa transfers with your comfort and privacy in mind.
Best Times to Visit for the Tropical Tranquillity
The Cook Islands enjoy a mild tropical climate year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October)—with warm sunshine, low humidity, and calm seas. The green season (November to April) brings lush landscapes and fewer visitors. Awake & Wander times your visit with seasonal festivals, local performances, and the best snorkelling conditions in Aitutaki’s lagoon.
