EXPLORE THE OLDEST ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC
Scientists say MANGAIA is at least 18 million years old, and evidence of that great age is everywhere in the rocky landscape. It's not beautiful in the usual sense of a tropical island, but it has greate beauty. Click here to watch the video
TAKING A FLYING TOUR OF THE 'ISLAND OF THE BIRDS'
AITU - the third largest and third most visited of the Cook Islands - is also known as Enuamanu which means land of the birds. More species live there than on any of the other islands, and they include some of the world's rarest. But there's much more to Atiu than just birds, as you'll find out. Click here to watch the video

MAGICAL MAUKE
Mauke is one of the most accessible of the outer islands, but there are few visitors. I can't recommend it too highly. It's a truly magical place, and I hope you'll see why as you watch this short film. The video was shot in Spring, 2006 and is 3 minutes 35 seconds long.

AITUTAKI: YOUR OWN BLUE LAGOON
Neither photos nor video can do justice to the stunning beauty of the Aitutaki lagoon. This short film can only give you a feel for what is surely one of the wonders of the natural world. As well as a tour round the lagoon - including the locations for the reality shows 'Survivior Cook Islands' and 'Shipwrecked' - there are also highlights of the main island. The video is 4 minutes 25 seconds long. The accompanying songs are performed by the Cook Islands National Arts Theatre.
