AITUTAKI REGIONAL AIRPORT
In Aitutaki, the lagoon takes centre stage. • Aitutaki Airport
A vast expanse of crystal clear water scattered
with uninhabited white sand islets that frame 1
the palm-fringed main island, it is surely the 3 4 Vaipeka
most idyllic lagoon in the world. Spend your Amuri Ootu Beach
days on or in the water. For those who like 2
their own patch of paradise, hire a canoe and Akitua
paddle out to the nearest motu for a picnic on Ureia Angarei
your very own stretch of beach. Ee
