KIA ORANA

Kia Orana is the essence of the Cook Islands Maori people and their culture. Just two words, Kia Orana shares our personality, our way of life

and our aspirations for the future.It literally means may you live long, or may you have a long and fulfilling life. Saying Kia Orana means more than hello. Kia Orana is meant as a

blessing or a wish for your future.We want to help visitors to the Cook Islands learn how to live a long and

fulfilling life the way we do. We want them to share in helping us make our homes happy and our lives long and fulfilling too.

Kia Orana is the spirit of our way of life in the Cook Islands and we want to ensure the Kia Orana Spirit is forever alive in our community and in our

industry.
