There is no shortage of island nations when looking at this list of visa free countries you can visit as a Nigerian Passport holder.
A South Pacific country famous for its huge tourist attraction, and one that makes up about 68% of its gross domestic product (GDP).
The self-governing island nation is an amazing country to visit with about 15 lovely islands.
There is no direct flight from Nigeria to this country and might not be a good choice if you live in Nigeria and wants to visit.
But then, you might have to take a flight first to New Zealand and another to the Cook Islands from Auckland.
Flight to New Zealand is about 1 day and 3 hours (with a possible stop). While from Auckland to Rarotonga Airport is about 3hrs, 45mins.
With its flight connection to New Zealand, you possibly will require to have a New Zealand visa before you can visit this Oceania nation.
The most populated island, Rarotonga has no traffic light, not necessary maybe because it has two driving routes which are named clockwise and anti-clockwise.
With a lovely and safe environment, you will fancy joining other visitors to tour the city on foot.
One thing about the locals of the Cook Islands is that they own dual citizenships as Cook Islanders and also citizens of New Zealand, the country in charge of its defence and foreign affairs.
Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the above nations are the visa free countries you can visit using your Nigerian Passport without undergoing the stress of a physical visa interview.
Considering a lot of them offer long stays between 30 to over 90 days, they are good options for vacations.
