Vancouver to Rarotonga, Cook Islands - $618 CAD roundtrip including taxes | new record!

The Cook Islands

Air New Zealand has dropped the price of their flights from Vancouver to Rarotonga, Cook Islands in the south Pacific down to $618 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

This is a new record for the cheapest flights from Vancouver to the Cook Islands.

The price drop is a part of Air New Zealand's Cyber Monday sale to New Zealand, Australia, and the Cook Islands.

But Expedia seems to be showing them for far less than what the Air New Zealand website is showing.

The Cyber Monday prices to New Zealand and Australia are pretty similar to what have been available at various other times throughout the year and are not as exciting.

According to the CDC website, the Cook Islands do not have the Zika virus.

You may also be able to find these from Victoria (YYJ) for $618 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

Availability for travel

April, May, June, July, August, September, October 2018

Some info from Frommer's about 'when to go'

"In short, there is no bad time weather-wise to visit the Cook Islands, although the shoulder months of April, May, September, and October usually provide the best combination of sunshine and warmth."

How to find and book these flights

1. Go to Kayak or Expedia.

(Some dates may only work on one or the other. It's worth trying both).

2. Search for a flight from Vancouver to Rarotonga, Cook Islands (RAR)

Try one of the following date combinations:

    Hi Chris,
    This is the deal I've been waiting for - thank you! I would like to stay a little longer and wonder what it means when you say "Still checking for more dates". I'm wondering if I should wait now or book at this amazing price.
    Thanks!

    No problem Diane! I have removed that message. At the time I was still checking for more available dates. But I think that's all of them now. The dates that are listed in the blog post, plus potentially some shorter 6 day trips (try Saturday to Friday dates in the same months).

    Hello Chris;

    Thank you for noting this fabulous deal. I'm wondering if you can help me with figuring out a glitch with Kayak as it won't let me type in the "RAR" for the airport.

    Cheers,

    Ruth

    Thank again Chris for the amazing deal ! All booked in Business Class as it was on sale as well. : )

    Hi Jess, no problem! Have a great time in the Cooks!

    Ruth: I can't say I've ever had an issue with typing in RAR into Kayak. It always pops up with 'Rarotonga, Cook Islands' when I do.

    Are you able to type in any other airport codes? Sometimes when a search site gets overloaded, certain features don't always load correctly.

    What happens if you try to type Rarotonga?

    Try refreshing the Kayak page with F5 in your browser and see if the airport names load correctly.

    Hey Chris! Been monitoring your deals for a while now waiting for the perfect trip...this is it! I was able to get the October dates (for a slightly higher price, $698) and now my wife & I are off to Rarotonga for our 10 year anniversary next year! Thanks!!!

       Chris_Myden on November 27th, 2017

    No problem Ruth, glad it's working now.

    Glenn: That's great to hear, sounds like an amazing way to celebrate 10 years!
