Essential Travel Guide to the Cook Islands from Romania

Before booking those cheap flights to the Cook Islands, it is vital to understand the practical aspects of the journey. This guide provides basic information about transport, accommodation, and local customs.

Romanian citizens traveling to the Cook Islands for stays up to 31 days do not need a prior visa. You must present a valid passport, a return or onward flight ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your intended departure date. We recommend checking the latest regulations before departure, as requirements can change quickly.

In Rarotonga, the largest island, public transport is simple: there is a bus that circles the island in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise). You can rent scooters or cars, but a local driver's license, obtained from the police in Avarua, is required. On Aitutaki, options are more limited, with scooters and bicycles being preferred. Note that driving is on the left side, similar to the UK, which is different from Romania.

Accommodation options range from luxury beachfront resorts to self-catering bungalows and local guesthouses. In Rarotonga, most options are located along the coast. Booking in advance is essential, especially if you are targeting cheap Cook Islands flight deals during the peak season. To save money, consider units with cooking facilities. Compared to prices in Romania, accommodation can be more expensive due to the islands' isolated location. Look for packages that include airport transfers.

The Cook Islands are considered a very safe destination, with a low crime rate. The main risks are related to the natural environment: strong sun and ocean currents. Drink only bottled water and use high sun protection factor. The locals, known as Cook Islanders, are very friendly and respectful. It is polite to greet people and avoid wearing swimsuits outside of beaches or resort areas. Respect the marine environment and coral reefs. Do not leave tips, as it is not a local custom.

Cook Islands cuisine is based on fresh fish and local produce such as taro, bananas, and breadfruit. Try 'Ika Mata' (raw fish marinated in coconut milk and lime), a local delicacy. Don't miss an 'Umu Kai', a traditional meal cooked in an underground oven. Local markets, such as the Punanga Nui Market in Rarotonga, are excellent places to taste authentic food and interact with locals. Restaurant prices may be similar to or slightly higher than in major cities in Romania.

The climate is tropical, so pack light clothing, made of cotton or linen. Don't forget your swimsuit, hat, sunglasses, and comfortable footwear for walking. Although the climate is warm, a light jacket can be useful in the evening. A plug adapter (Type I) is necessary, as they use the Australian/New Zealand standard, different from the European one in Romania. Also, mosquito repellent is mandatory, especially in the wet season. Prepare for short but intense rains, typical of tropical areas.
