COOK ISLANDS
Kia Orana!
Welcome to the Cook Islands
The Cook Islands have it all! In past issues I've talked about the great wedding and honeymoon possibilities, that we're family friendly, we can give you 'laid back' or take you on an adventure. All at great value in the world's first recession free country.
In this issue I'd like you to experience the lesser known island of Atiu - Anuamanu. Once you know more you can't help but want to experience all that this 'island of the birds' has to offer!
Days on Atiu
"To be welcomed into a culture where gentleness and tradition are entwined into each day. Where laughter and simple pleasures are easily shared by all...
Ki taku Pumavai o te Aro a"
With One Day get you a brief look and with luck you can do the Kopeka bird cave tour when you arrive, visit a tumunu in the evening and a coffee or burial cave tour on the following morning and then depart. You'll want to stay longer as there is so much more that you want to see.
Two Days gives you a chance to include an island tour and/or hire a vehicle and see some of the island yourself. Two days will wet your appetite for Aitu but you still feel hungry for more adventure.
Three Days gives you a chance to see most of Atiu and do about half of the tours available. This is our recommended minimum stay.
Stay Four Days to One Week and you will begin to know the local people personally and become involved in their lives. You will join in the local events and will not want to leave because of what is happening the next day.
If you stay More than a Week you will find it very hard to leave. You will become involved with the characters on the island and be absorbed into the daily life. You are then in the dangerous position of "going troppo".

 " My husband worked with Dori who booked a surprise trip to a luxury spa retreat in St. Lucia for my 40th birthday. We feel very comfortable talking to Dori about our vacation ideas and trust her ability. We highly recommend her to our friends and family"
Tamara & Warren,
"I have been using Dori's services since 2005, and I've been completely satisfied with her expertise and knowledge in planning my trips. What I most like about her efficiency is that she goes the extra mile to assure that all my plans are memorable. I always recommend Dori to anyone who asks for a "good" travel agent. I am hoping she will guide a tour one day to a destination I have a desire to see and I will be the first to book."

"Dear Dori,
Thank you again for the fabulous trip to Australia. Our honeymoon would not have been the same without your help."
