Step into a land forgotten by time with the Mangaia Close Encounters Package, offering a rare glimpse into the oldest island in the Pacific. With its dramatic limestone cliffs, vast makatea terrain, and deep cultural roots, Mangaia is a true haven for curious travellers seeking meaningful connections and untamed beauty.
Your 3-night stay includes authentic accommodation at Babe’s Place, a small, family-run guesthouse that offers a warm welcome and genuine insight into local life. Comfortable, simple, and homely, it’s the perfect base for exploring this intriguing island. The package includes return domestic flights, daily continental breakfast, airport transfers, and two signature guided tours.
The Island Discovery Tour takes you through Mangaia’s inland villages, plantations, and stunning viewpoints, while the Cave Exploration Tour delves into the island’s intricate cave systems—some of the most geologically fascinating in the region. Along the way, you’ll learn about the island’s history, legends, and traditional ways of life.
With untouched landscapes, few tourists, and heartfelt hospitality, Mangaia is perfect for those who want to slow down and experience the Cook Islands well beyond the beaten path.
