"Piper made honeymoon planning simple. She quickly provided recommendations and quotes based on our specified interests for our honeymoon in Hawaii.

Testimonials from Piper's clients:
"Had half a dozen trips set up through Piper before COVID hit. She has been a champ with cruises cancelling, flights changing, cancelled plans, rescheduling, etc. Have rebooked several for next year and she is always happy to help and very detail oriented. It is especially helpful to have someone you know will be "on the other end of the line" when travel plans change, flight connections are missed or changed. Piper is readily available to help you through it all!"

Overview
Geologically, Mangaia is by far the oldest of the 15 islands of the Cook Group, and is shaped like a tail-less stingray whose head faces north-west. Fifty-one square kilometers in size, the island is surrounded by a thick coral reef, with only a few tiny beaches notched into its coastal rock.
The shoreline steps up a few meters to a narrow rocky plain, a shelf of land covered with palms, pandanus and coarse grasses on which large herds of cute goats graze.
On this coastal fringe are located the main road, several villages and, to the north-east, the airport runway.

Overview
Two hundred kilometers east-south-east from Rarotonga, second largest of the Cook Islands, the raised atoll of Mangaia has always been isolated and determinedly independent. Tradition has it that the island was not discovered by a voyaging ancestor - Mangaian belief is that the first human being rose from a hole in the center of their island. Mangaia and Avaiki, the spiritual homeland, are thus one and the same. In less legendary terms, it is thought that the island was populated by seafarers from Tahiti, Rarotonga and Tonga.
