Mangaia - Cook Islands, South Pacific

Mangaia is not a beautiful island in the usual sense, but it is an island of great beauty. The landscape is incredibly rugged, many roads are rough and rubble-strewn, but everywhere there's greenery and life. And what makes it most special are the people. Mangaians have a fierce sense of independence, great pride in their island and show incredible warmth to visitors.


This is the fourth in a series of short films about the Cook Islands. Find out more about the islands at http://www.cookislands.org.uk - the only independent, non-commercial guide on the internet to all of the Cook Islands.

Hey u played a Atiu song on your vid?????? shouldn't it be a Mangaian song?

[meitaki]

You're so right. It should have been but I didn't have one that worked with the pictures. Look it like this..Atiu is paying tribute to Mangaia!!!!!!!  (And anyway, I love both islands)
