Rules in force · 6
  • Cook Islands ↗Entry rules are the Cook Islands' own: many passports get a visitor permit on arrival with an onward ticket and booked accommodation, but check Cook Islands immigration for your passport. If you connect through Auckland, check New Zealand's NZeTA and transit rules too.
  • Cook Islands ↗Declare food, plant and animal products on arrival; biosecurity inspection is strict.
  • Cook Islands ↗Drive on the left; the speed limit around Rarotonga is low, and helmets are required on scooters. Check the licence rules for visitors on arrival.
  • Rarotonga ↗Scooters cause many visitor injuries: use a helmet, ride slowly and check licence rules for visitors on arrival.
  • Avarua ↗Sunday is a rest day: most shops, the market and many cafes close, and the buses run a reduced service. Plan food and cash for Saturday night.
  • Avarua ↗Scooters cause most visitor injuries on Rarotonga; wear a helmet, keep to the low speed limit and check that your licence is accepted before you rent one.
