world_traveller08 10:40 UTC 18 Dec 2007 | hi there! i'm looking for flights from nadi to rarotonga or any other way to get from fiji to cook islands! i don't wanna fly back to auckland to get to rarotonga! maybe someone has already done this route by (sailing) boat, yacht or ferry?? how much time would it take to get from fiji to cook islands, maybe with some stopovers around tonga or cook islands lagoons?? is it possible to do this route on the sea? i've searched so much about this thing but i haven't found anything yet, so i'd be very very happy to receive some information!!!! thanks!! |

Scheduled sea travel is not an option either. I guess one would be able to charter a yacht for the trip - but that would be quite costly. | 1

wksamoa 21:43 UTC 18 Dec 2007 | Sorry, no option either. There are flights from and to: Samoa (APW) Tonga (1/week), Los Angeles (1/week), Nadi (2/week), Sydney (3/week), American-Samoa and Auckland (daily) American-Samoa (PPG) Honolulu (2/week), Samoa (daily) Tonga (TBU) Samoa (1/week), Nadi (also from/to Vava'u VAV), Auckland Niue (IUE) Auckland (1/week) Fiji (Nadi; NAN) Samoa (2/week), Tonga (TBU and VAV), Los Angeles, Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane and destinations in Melanesia (i.e. Vanuatu) You see, there is nothing to the Cooks or Tahiti so far ...! You can only go there from Auckland. | 3
Laszlo 23:24 UTC 18 Dec 2007 | Fiji also has direct flights to more obscure island nations like Wallis & Futuna, Tuvalu and Kiribati, making it the best-connected place in the South Pacific by far. If you are determined to avoid flying through Auckland, maybe you should rethink your itinerary. | 4
raro 23:51 UTC 18 Dec 2007 | The only int'l flights into and out of the Cooks are from NZ, Tahiti, and the US. | 5
