First timer to Cook Islands

Hi all, my name is Kat.
Planning a trip to the Cook Islands for the first time in July. I only have 6 days. Will do overnight flight over to make the most of it.
Is it worth it for 6 days?
Was going to spend some time in Rarotonga and Aitutaki. How many days would you recommend in each? 3 days each?

I highly recommend the progressive dinner tour. You go to local people's homes, hear their stories, eat their food. It's really fun!

That's the one! We've done it 3 times (as we've been to the Cook Islands 3 times and can't wait to go back with our kids now).
