Aitutaki Map

Aitutaki lagoon Map showing the lagoon, main island and smaller motu or islets.

UNDOUBTEDLY one of the world's most beautiful tropical lagoons is that found at Aitutaki. It is a vast lagoon, fairly shallow and the white sand below the crystal clear water creates an incredible turquoise expanse almost 20 kilometres at its widest point. The Cooks' main island of Rarotonga would actually fit inside the lagoon! The stunning beauty and serenity of Aitutaki has made it a popular destination for romantic honeymoons, paradise weddings and relaxing island getaways. All inclusive resorts, luxury honeymoon villas or budget beach huts are found here.
