Any time is a good time to visit the Cook Islands.
Seasonal variations are slight.
Song Quest , held over five weeks beginning in July, culminates in a big finale where singers, musicians and performers from throughout the islands search for stardom on Rarotonga. Beginning on the Friday before 4 August, the 10-day Constitution Festival celebrates independence with sports, dances, music, historical and cultural displays and many other events. This is the Cooks' major festival of the year. Dancing and other entertainments mark New Year's Eve . Lonely Planet Publications Pty. Ltd. All rights reserved.
