I went to Aitutaki for nearly a week in year 2007 when I went to visit my sister in New Zealand (NZ). It is a tiny tropical island in the South Pacific Ocean, often referred to as “the Bora Bora of the cook Islands”. The land area of the island is about 18km2, if travel by car, it only takes half an hour to drive around the whole island. It is famous for the beautiful beach, see through water, and most importantly, the different varieties of the colorful reef. I was amazed by how beautiful the place is.
Aitutaki is a great place for diving, kayaking, and swimming with different kind of fish. The sea condition is always peaceful because it sits at one corner of a triangular lagoon dotted with lovely small flat islands. The lagoon sides of the uninhabited, coconut-studded small islands out on the reef have some of the South Pacific’s most beautiful white sand beaches, which is perfect for snorkeling. Because of its special geographic location, the temperature is particularly comfortable and warm all year round
