Cook Islands

The Cook Islands scatter across a wide stretch of the South Pacific — fifteen islands divided between a northern group of low coral atolls and a southern group of volcanic peaks draped in dense green forest. Life moves at a pace set by tides and inter-island ferries, and the smell of saltwater and gardenia is rarely far away.
