A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE COOK ISLANDS: PART 1 OF 2
This is an ambitious attempt to capture the essence of the Cook Islands. In it, I'll take you on a journey around all 15 little "pieces of paradise" that make up this unique nation. In part one, we'll visit eight of the nine islands in the southern group. The video is 10 minutes long
So...even if you're not planning a visit yourself, I hope I can share with you why I think this is a very special place. Have a great journey!
