Northern Cook Islands
The Northern Cook Islands are a loose group of low, coral atolls that see little tourism. The Northern Cook Islands are separated from the Southern Cook Islands by a wide stretch of the Pacific Ocean, with the nearest part of the Southern chain being Palmerston Island, 500 km due south of Suwarrow.| Tap on a place to explore it |

Suwarrow National Park is a national park in the northern Cook Islands. The atoll is linked to the New Zealand writer Tom Neale, who retired there in complete solitude for 5 years, dedicating them to the writing of the book An Island to Oneself, which became a bestseller.
