David and Lili's World Tour

COOK ISLANDS


December 2024 - Rarotonga

This was a short beach holiday for Lili's 50th, and we are so glad we made the trip. Rarotonga has a unique relationship with New Zealand... Although it's self-governing, Cook Islanders are New Zealand citizens, and New Zealand provides economic support, defence, and foreign affairs assistance when requested. They use the New Zealand dollar (alongside their own coins), and there's no need for a passport when travelling from NZ. This close connection makes Rarotonga feel familiar and easy for Kiwis to visit, but it still offers the charm and beauty of a Pacific island getaway. It's a peaceful, quiet, relaxing place, and a favorite get-away spot for Kiwis for a reason!
