Te Kou Maru is a famous attraction on the southeast coast of Mauke Island in the Cook Islands. It is the wreck of a cargo ship that ran aground on a coral reef in 2010. Today, the hull of the ship is still quietly embedded in the Makatea limestone cliffs, becoming a unique historical relic of the island. Visitors can follow the rugged Makatea Trail to experience the charm of the interweaving of nature and humanity. Te Kou Maru is not only a popular check-in point for photography enthusiasts, but also witnesses a chapter in the island's shipping history.
