Apr–Nov — the months this route recommends.

Best for: The Pacific's best lagoon
Cook Islands in 8 days: Rarotonga and the Aitutaki lagoon
Rarotonga → Aitutaki → Rarotonga
One island you can circle by bus in 50 minutes, and another whose lagoon is three times the size of the island inside it — turquoise water a metre deep for kilometres, sandbars you stand on in the middle of the sea, and a 45-minute flight between the two.
