Cook Islands

Where the only thing more plentiful than palm trees is the number of times you'll be asked "Are you from New Zealand?"

Cook Islands: The only place where the phrase "Island Time" doesn't just mean "relaxed" – it means "completely lost in the jungle and running late for the luau".

Cook Islands: Where the most exotic wildlife is the local accent – which is so unique, you'll need a translator to understand it, but still manage to get lost in its melodic rhythm.
