Aitutaki, One Foot Island
Some of the Cook Island's outer islands also have flights from Rarotonga so diehard adventure travellers could find places with few or no other visitors and isolated atolls. Accommodation of some sort - even with local people - is always available. These islands are among those that have flights:
Manihiki [north], aka the Island of Pearls, is one of the prettiest of the Cook's with a 4km wide lagoon - dotted with 40 islets - that provides top snorkelling, swimming and black pearls.
Pukapuka [north] is small, remote and has habits and customs similar to Samoa. Swimming and snorkelling are good.
Mangaia [the most southerly island] offers stunning rock formations and caves, so climbing, caving, interesting drives, biking and horse riding can be added to the usual snorkelling activities.
n.b. Rarotonga and Aitutaki are in the southern island group.
