COOK Islands - Aitutaki

Whale Watching

In the Cook Islands, the whales come to you!   Humpbacks migrate into the South Pacific waters of Oceania from summer feeding grounds in the high latitude waters of the Southern Hemisphere.  And from July to October, you don't even need to venture into the water to see them because they swim so close to shore.  They pass by the Cook Islands in a 4,000 mile journey en route to warmer waters to mate, give birth and to rest.
