“Kia Orana” is the traditional greeting in the Cook Islands…like “Aloha” in Hawaii. Take advantage of springtime savings to fly from Anchorage to the Cook Islands.
From Anchorage, the thru-fare starts at $890 roundtrip, a 35 percent discount (USE DISCOUNT CODE HACOOK35). SAME PRICE from Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. That’s a “Main Cabin” price on Alaska Airlines to Honolulu (via the West Coast), then nonstop on Hawaiian.
Travel via the West Coast on the outbound flight. The return flight offers a nice connection to the nonstop Honolulu-Anchorage flight.
YOU CAN fly via the nonstop ANC-HNL on your outbound flight. But you have to spend the night in Honolulu…and it costs a little more.
BOOK between now and AUGUST 11. Travel Sept. 1-Nov. 1, 2026. There’s just ONE FLIGHT PER WEEK from Honolulu to Rarotonga….so plan accordingly (south from Honolulu on Fridays, returning on Saturdays).
Stay for a week–or two! Rarotonga is small–it’s less than 25 miles around the island. The shoreline is dotted with beaches, parks and resorts.
No building is taller than a coconut tree, so the island is strictly low-key. Spend a few days there, then fly to another island: Aitutaki. There’s a reef, a beautiful lagoon and several glorious places to stay.
