One Foot Island, Aitutaki

AITUTAKI REGIONAL AIRPORT

In Aitutaki, the lagoon takes centre stage. 1 • Aitutaki Airport
A vast expanse of crystal clear water scattered
with uninhabited white sand islets that frame 7 2
the palm-fringed main island, it is surely the 6 Vaipeka 5 3
most idyllic lagoon in the world. Spend your Amuri Ootu Beach
4
days on or in the water. For those who like Akitua
their own patch of paradise, hire a canoe and
paddle out to the nearest motu for a picnic on Ureia Angarei
your very own stretch of beach. Ee
