Welcome to New Zealand, a classic self-drive destination. To get you started, we've included a 7 day flexi motel pass. If you're looking for ultimate in flexibility with the comfort of knowing your accommodation costs are covered upfront - this pass is great. This 7 night trip includes car hire and a weeks’ worth of flexible motel vouchers so you can choose where to stay as you go. Vouchers can be used at B&B accommodation all over the North Island and South Island.

Flying from New Zealand to the Cook Islands you actually gain a day for yourself as you cross over the International Dateline on your way to the Pacific destination of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.
Touchdown in the Cook Islands to begin our Rarotonga & Aitutaki Escape. Spend a few days winding down and experiencing daily life on Rarotonga with its beautiful beaches and volcanic interior. You'll encounter a real sense of authenticity here as all hotels are locally owned and run, plus there's also a strong cultural influence. 'Island nights' are a regular occurrence here, offering you an opportunity to get a feel for Polynesian culture through the sharing of food, dance and music.
After a few days, you'll take a 45 minute scenic flight over to the island of Aitutaki, where the spectacular Aitutaki Lagoon awaits. No trip is complete without a boat ride on the lagoon and it's even possible to get married on a little island in the centre!
