 Outrigger on the lagoon beach
at Aitutaki by mtncorg
Aitutaki Intro:
Idyllic beaches and lagoons, warm people, Maori culture
Very quiet and a very long ways away
This will truly spoil you for other beach vacations in the future!
On Aitutaki, you will find a piece of the South Pacific you may have dreamed about. A gorgeous lagoon sprinkled with beautiful white sand beached islets and a friendly welcoming people. This is truly at the end of the transportation line, but as you sit out along a lagoon beach gazing over turquoise waters - what an end it is!
Captain Bligh and the Bounty were the first Europeans to visit in 1789. Here, the first Christian missionaries set foot in the Cooks. The island has been settled since about 900AD. Before the ariport in Rarotonga was built in the 1970's, Aitutaki was the main air point of entry for the big amphibous Air New Zealand craft that used to use the lagoon. The main island is topped by a 120 meter high hill - Maungapu - which is supposedly the top of Rarotonga's flattened peak, Raemaru - found on the western part of that island. Warriors from Aitutaki chopped off the Raro peak and brought it back here.
There are several guesthouses that you can stay here at, though many people only come for the day on the Air Rarotonga excursions. Stay longer here if you can. Leave a Comment

There are several hikes ot do on the island, the longest is the cross island trek, takes about 4 hours and is pretty damn hard. 45 minutes basically straight up to the top at about 400m, then down endlessly through thick vegetation to this amazing waterfall.
