Snorkeling there is amazing. It's very calm and the water is the perfect temperature.
You pretty much have to stay a week since there's only one flight from HNL to RAR and back each week.
Most of the tourists there are from Australia or New Zealand.

The Cook Islands remind of what Hawaii was like before jet planes -- wide open roads, empty beaches, surrounded by nature. The outer island of Aitutaki is compared favorably to Bora-Bora, but costs just a fraction of French Polynesia.

I checked fare rules on our agency's Amadeus GDS -- allows up to 6 free stopovers -- including Honolulu and neighbor islands, routing-dependant. For instance, from LAX, can stop HNL as well as Big Island and Kauai. From San Diego, HNL + Maui, for as long as you wish, up to fare date boundaries.

Flight timing is attractive -- especially for those who hate red-eye flights. West coast to HNL is 6 hours, morning departure. HNL to Raratonga is 6 hours in the afternoon/evening. Rarotonga to HNL is afternoon, and HNL to West coast can be morning, afternoon, or overnight, depending upon length of stopover.

Normally, a 12-hour trip is brutal, but it is really two 6-hour trips, which combined with free stopovers can negate a lot of travel fatigue. This is a fabulous deal.

My wife and I visited in 2003, and we are ready to return!
