The Cook Islands are a hidden gem in the South Pacific, located halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii. These islands offer a rare combination of authentic culture, untouched landscapes, and modern comforts. There are no chain hotels or fast-food outlets, so every experience feels local and genuine. Yet, you'll still enjoy boutique resorts, Wi-Fi, and world-class dining.
Whether you're dreaming of romantic escapes, family adventures, or simply a place to disconnect and recharge, the Cook Islands deliver. Imagine waking up to white-sand beaches, exploring lush volcanic peaks, and cruising across lagoons so clear they look unreal.

Our trip back East was truly amazing and we want to thank you for making it possible to have such a stress free holiday. Everything turned out perfectly. We enjoyed the variety and the different modes of travel and tours. All in all it was a trip of a life time and one that we will not forget.

Just a quick note to thank you for planning my trip to Saskatchewan. I enjoyed my stay there, beautiful province. The hotel locations were perfect, made going around easy :-)

We had a really great time! The group of 8 was the perfect size. Our tour leader did a stellar job of engaging the group and working behind the scenes to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We dog sledded, snowmobiled and at the end of the night witnessed a dramatic Aurora show dancing across the sky while parked on the frozen lake. It was unreal. Meals were all fantastic as well. The winter clothing package was a must. We will definitively return to Yellowknife, a great winter destination.

Would go on another trip (with Anderson Vacations) any day.

This is the second Canadian tour we have done with Anderson and both have been an experience we will never forget.

I love everything Anderson Vacations does and stands for. I am a travel professional in Vancouver. Anderson Vacations assists me by creating amazing custom journeys for my clients. The service is heads above and beyond their competitors. Yesterday Darcie Guarderas our Business Development Manager hosted an educational and fun seminar for her agency partners. With a true passion and customer focus with a lot of humour Darcie led us on a magical trip to Vancouver Island. From “my work at home desk†in Vancouver I felt I was having tea at the Empress, I saw the amazing totem poles in Duncan and I visited Chemainus an Coombes. I lived on the island between 1979 and 1985 and I felt that I had gone home again. Thank you so much. It made my whole week.

The tour was wonderful, and our guides were top notch!!
Debbie
Just want to say I enjoyed all aspects of the tour - to me everything was excellent ............. tour guides (yourselves), hotel (loved it), food (so good), and sightseeing tours (entertaining and informative). I was so impressed with the winter clothing gear - never felt cold at any time other than when I had to take the gloves off sometimes to use the camera. This trip was number 1 on my bucket list so will enjoy the memories!
Marita
The Yellowknife trip was great – the food – your tour guides – the tours – the display of northern lights and Yellowknife itself was just wonderful.
