Cook Islands - A little unknown heaven

Aitutaki - this could be you.
Aitutaki - this could be you.

My go-to sanctuary, The Cooks Islands are breathtakingly beautiful, romantic, adventurous, safe, relaxed, and off-the-beaten paths.


Made up of 15 individual islands, in the South Pacific northeast of New Zealand, between American Samoa and French Polynesia. They’re at once completely isolated but also connected to the world by the international airport on Rarotonga, the biggest and most populous of the islands. But don't let that fool you, Rarotonga is home to only (give or take) 14, 000 residents.


A visit to both of the main islands, Rarotonga and Aitutaki is a MUST! A stopover pre or post visit to New Zealand is a good fit as well.


 


The Cook Islands offer:



  • Overwater bungalows, small house rentals, and luxury resorts

  • Deep sea and Bone fishing

  • Uncrowned beaches and islands

  • World-class windsurfing

  • Amazing sunsets

  • Amazing food options and open markets

  • Nightly entertainment with live music

  • World-class Polynesian Dancers

  • and more

Great Family Vacation
Tree helped us find the best location and resort for our family vacation. She provided variety of options based on our input and then once we decided, ensured flights, resort and all other details were booked and taken care of. Tree also connected us to a local tour guide who had lower pricing than what the resort offered. She also helped us navigate the required Covid testing and answered all our questions in a timely manner.

Best trips ever!
I have been on two trips that Tree planned, and I can honestly say they were two of the best trips of my life. I enjoy travel planning and usually do it myself, but not being familiar with the south seas, I put my trust in Tree and I was not disappointed! I was so impressed by the quality of the resorts she recommended and the fact that everyone there knew Tree by name. This woman clearly knows her islands on a personal level.

Honeymoon
?
Hi tree!

Everything about the trip was Easy and unico was an amazing resort- we only have good things to say! Our big suggestion for people traveling to the maya riviera area is to visit the Cenotes. Definitely a cool experience.

The only thing We would’ve changed is maybe flying a different airline. While we didn’t run in to any hiccups with frontier, their planes are pretty cramped and uncomfortable and they don’t offer any accommodations to make the flight more bearable. It got the job done, but it’s wouldn’t be our first choice in the future

But our experience with you guys was awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You’ve been very helpful and it was a seamless trip.

Thank you,
Abigail and Jacob.

Amazing Greece Adventure
Tree Schmidt knows how to deliver the travel wow factor! She skillfully undertook the challenging task of coordinating for our small group, flights, hotels, tours, tricky connections to our Greek cruise (the centerpiece of the trip) and made our ten days so glorious. In addition to being amazingly detailed and resourceful, she picked winners across the board. When we requested a more authentic restaurant in Athens where the locals frequent, we found ourselves at the most charming restaurant eating al Fresca in what truly seemed to be a neighborhood eatery (so very on point)! I have already recommended this restaurant to a friend and would recommend Tree’s services to even the most seasoned traveler. She adds such next level value!
