Aitutaki, to the north of Rarotonga, is the second most popular island to visit and it is easy to see why. The island completely surrounds a breath-taking, crystal-clear turquoise lagoon fringed by pure white beaches which makes it a heaven for divers and snorkelers.

Do & See

With such a perfect climate and beautiful water it is easy to understand the local saying “Cook Islands people are born of the sea”. Here, in fact, most activities are connected to the sea: there are safe places for snorkelling, swimming and diving for all ages and abilities. Rarotonga’s lagoon, around Muri lagoon, Aro’a Beach, Black Rock and Titikaveka are all excellent beaches. The Muri lagoon, in particular, is one of the Cook Islands´ most beautiful locations. It is fantastic for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing.
