Overview

See Cook Islands from the water and from the ground. This 9-night trip pairs a cruise leg with land nights across Rarotonga · Aitutaki, so you wake up in a new port without repacking, and still get proper time ashore at An Aitutaki lagoon cruise and Rarotonga’s cross-island trek. Cabin, excursions and port transfers are all arranged.

Apr – Oct is the sweet spot for Cook Islands (South Pacific), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ hotel + cruise cabin hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹3,54,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Cook Islands visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Our trip with friends to Rarotonga was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
