Is this trip right for you?

On Short Breaks, you maintain a level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time, and a trip leader won’t accompany you. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Tuuur partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, meaning you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.

Itinerary

DAY 1
Rarotonga
Kia Orana! Welcome to the Cook Islands. Your Short Break Adventure begins at the Rarotonga airport for an included Air Rarotonga flight to Aitutaki. Home to less than 2000 people and one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons, Aitutaki is your base for the next few days. Greet your Aitutaki local representative when you arrive and transfer to your beach bungalow accommodation – this paradisical location sits at the water’s edge among acres of tropical gardens and palm trees. Your accommodation is the perfect place to let your worries drift away, with the lagoon at your doorstep. This afternoon, you decide what’s on the agenda – maybe a spot of kayaking or snorkelling. Your accommodation front desk can also organise a short island tour or help you hire a bike to explore the island on wheels.
Meals
There are no meals included on this day.
Special information
Your travel time today will be approximately 1 hour.
DAY 2
Aitutaki
With the entire day at your leisure, now is a good time to jump on a bike and go beach hopping. If you’d prefer, maybe just sit by the lagoon with a cocktail in hand. If you are looking for more planned activities, your accommodation hosts can book an optional lagoon trip for you and spend a full day swimming, snorkeling and chilling out with a local guide, stopping for a barbeque lunch. Visit Heaven Sand Bar and the famous Onefoot Island. Spot tropical fish, turtles and clams in the clear water and end the day with another sunset view.
