Helpful Tips

Moving to a new place is a big deal – but the good news? You don’t have to do it alone. The Cook Islands is full of warm-hearted community groups, clubs, and cultural associations that love welcoming new faces. Whether you’re looking for faith-based groups, cultural clubs (like Filipino, Fijian, or Tuvaluan communities), youth programs, or women’s groups – there’s something for everyone.

These spaces are perfect for meeting people who speak your language, share your culture, or just want to connect. Join in on a meeting, potluck, or community event – you might walk in as a stranger, but you’ll leave as part of the family. 

"Life in the Cook Islands has taught me to slow down, embrace the ocean, the people, and the culture—it's paradise, but more importantly, it feels like home."
