What country do the Cook Islands belong to?

The 15 Cook Islands are located northeast of New Zealand in the middle of the South Pacific. The map shows you the location of the Cook Islands as well as the distance to Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Hawaii.

The journey from Germany to the Cook Islands takes quite a long time due to the geographical remoteness, so the South Sea Islands are also not exactly suitable for a week-long holiday.

From Germany you should expect a journey of at least 30 hours, during which two to three stops – mostly on the Arabian Peninsula and in Australia – will be made. Guru tip: Since such a long-haul flight can quickly become a torture, you should consider splitting the journey to the Cook Islands and discovering several interesting destinations on one trip at once. If you are traveling in Australia or New Zealand, the further flight time is already a lot shorter with six or four hours, for example. By the way, the airport of the main island of Rarotonga is usually served by flights. From here you can travel from island to island with the airline Air Rarotonga or with the ferries.
