Cook Islands Holidays

The main school holidays are from the third week in December to mid-January. Between this Christmas period local flights can be full as locals return home to visit relatives so it is wise to book ahead. Resorts are also busy in this time as it is the main holiday season for New Zealand and Australian tourists.

Sundays are observed in Cook Island as a day of rest and only a few shops are open, bus services are limited and churches are full.
