Pukapuka - Clearance

Oct 10, 2024

All vessels entering the Cook Islands must do so at an authorised Customs Port of Entry.  Currently, the only open ports are Penrhyn (Omoka Wharf), Rarotonga (Avatiu Wharf), and Aitutaki (Arutanga Port). All other ports are temporarily closed.

For vessels intending to visit Palmerston Island, Suwarrow Island, or other islands in the Cook Islands that are not designated ports of call, see Cook Islands Clearance for the latest information.

While this was a clearance port of sorts, yachts wanting to clear at Pukapuka had to pay for transporting the Customs officer by air or sea. Not a very practical option unless there was a large group of yachts.
