Mangaia Island Travel Guide
Cook Islands
Mangaia Island is a remote island in the Cook Islands, in the South Pacific. Its recorded population is 0, so it is not an urban destination and visitors should plan for an isolated island stay.
Travellers arrive through Mangaia Island Airport (MGS). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the island’s coastline is not centred on a recognised beach area.
