Step off the well-worn path and discover the unspoiled charm of Atiu, one of the Cook Islands’ most pristine and least-visited gems. The Atiu Close Encounters Package is a unique 3-night experience designed for travellers seeking authentic cultural immersion, lush landscapes, and close-up encounters with nature’s wonders.
Your stay includes guided tours that highlight the island’s untouched beauty and rich biodiversity. Walk through dense tropical rainforests with a local guide and discover the nesting grounds of the endangered Kopeka bird deep within Anatakitaki Cave. Visit traditional villages, interact with locals, and learn about age-old customs like tivaevae quilting and island crafts. Sip bush beer brewed using time-honoured methods and hear fascinating stories from the island’s past.
Accommodation is provided at one of Atiu’s welcoming locally owned lodges or guesthouses, giving you the chance to enjoy genuine Cook Islands hospitality. With included return flights from Rarotonga and guided experiences, the Atiu Close Encounters package is perfect for adventurers, eco-travellers, and culturally curious explorers looking for a side of the Cook Islands few ever see.
Tucked among tropical gardens, Atiu Villas offers spacious self-contained bungalows crafted from native timbers, coconut thatch, and coral-limestone. Each villa features a fully equipped kitchenette, private bathroom, comfortable bedding, ceiling fan, screened windows, and a private verandah overlooking lush greenery. Guests enjoy easy access to walking trails, a swimming pool, tennis court, and a restaurant offering local cuisine on request. This peaceful eco-retreat is a perfect base to experience the beauty and serenity of Atiu.
