Aitutaki

The Cook Islands' most famous lagoon island, where turquoise water, white-sand islets and snorkeling capture the best of the South Pacific.

Aitutaki lies in the northern part of the Southern Group of the Cook Islands. It consists of a volcanic main island, a vast triangular lagoon around it and many small islets. A lagoon cruise is a must: stroll the white-sand beach of One Foot Island (Tapuaetai) and snorkel in clear water among giant clams and tropical fish. Several resorts on the island make it a good choice for honeymoons and relaxed getaways. May to October is the dry season, with pleasant weather. It takes about 50 minutes to reach Aitutaki on a domestic flight from Rarotonga.
