Cook Islands eco tourism is rather limited. On the main islands of Rarotonga and Aitutaki there are only a few eco tourism opportunities which focus mostly on the natural environment. Those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and visiting traditional villages will be mostly disappointed. There are however several beautiful outlying islands to visit where travellers can immerse themselves into the local culture with the people, including Mangaia, Mitiaro, Atiu and the utterly remote Northern Atolls. The following provides reviews of eco-tourist activities and where best to stay:
