# How long......? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Cook Islands
tessatuu 16:31 UTC 11 Oct 2007 | hi all, just wondering, how long should one plan to stay in the cooks.......i know i could possibly stay somewhere like that forever :) but how long is long enough to see enough ..... what do you think? |
raro 03:54 UTC 12 Oct 2007 | Pretty vague question. One can see the basics on Rarotonga in four or five days, for two islands I'd plan two weeks or so. | 1
travels4us 23:01 UTC 12 Oct 2007 | 2 weeks is good. Spend one in Rarotonga and one in Aitutaki. It will cost you to fly there but so worth it! The Cooks are amazing,have fun! | 2
decdublin 21:29 UTC 14 Oct 2007 | if the standard holiday visa is still 30 days you should go for 30 days! you won't want to leave... | 3
raro 05:23 UTC 15 Oct 2007 | It's an automatic 31 days, then can be extended to 6 months total thereafter. No work is allowed, so you'll enough funds to survive, and a return or onwards air ticket for arrival. [this is for all those reading who want to stay there "forever"] | 4
travels4us 11:22 UTC 13 Nov 2007 | 2 weeks...one in Raro, one in Aitutaki!! You will regret it if you don't go to Aitutaki, its paradise! | 5
bksrocks 07:16 UTC 23 Nov 2007 | We spend 3 weeks in raro as a family, and thatt was way TOOO short! There is some really nice hiking around, and you probably won't get bored! We only did 1 day in Aitutaki, and we were really disapointed going back to Raro, because it is amazing there! Have a good trip! | 6
