    Day 1: Arrive Rarotonga       

    On arrival at Rarotonga Airport, you will be greeted by a local representative and taken to your hotel to check in. The rest of the day is at leisure.  


    Days 2 and 3: Rarotonga 

    You'll have two full days on Rarotonga to relax and recharge. Why not hire some bikes and head off to explore the island? With only two roads running around the circumference of the island, it's impossible to get lost, and there are plenty of secluded coves and beaches to discover along the way. Alternatively, head to the beach to enjoy water-based activities straight off the coast.


    Day 4: Rarotonga to Aitutaki       

    This morning will be collected from your hotel and taken by shared transfer back to the airport, where you'll board your domestic flight to Aitutaki. Just 45 minutes later, after a breathtaking journey, you will arrive on this picturesque island. On landing, you will be greeted and taken to your hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure.   


    Day 5: Aitutaki       

    Today is free until the late afternoon when you will set off on private sunset cruise over Aitutaki Lagoon. You'll sail to Honeymoon Island before enjoying a champagne toast as you watch the sunset over the water. As you sip champagne, you will cruise to the motu. Here, you can take a barefoot walk along the beach, snap some pictures and even head into the water for some snorkelling before heading back for dinner.


    Day 6: Aitutaki

    Today is your final full day in Aitutaki, so why not head back out onto the lagoon or arrange a picnic on the beach? Alternatively, relax in your luxury resort and take advantage of the on-site spa with a traditional Polynesian massage - the perfect way to unwind at the end of your trip.        


    Day 7: Depart Aitutaki  

    You will be collected from your accommodation today and taken to the airport by shared transfer to connect with your flight back to Rarotonga and onwards.
