Aitutaki – Another Pacific Wonder

 

L1070477

 

Known for its turquoise central lagoon, uninhabited islands and palm-fringed beaches, until now has been spared by mass tourism! Absolutely wonderful place.

Tapuaetai (One Foot Island), a small islet in the south-east of the lagoon, provides the best views of the Aitutaki lagoon and depending on the tide one is able to walk on a sandbank a decent distance away from Tapuaetai.

"No artist's palette could ever conceive of a more perfect, more luminescent turquoise than that of the lagoon of Aitutaki, arguably the most beautiful in the world." So Steve Davey has written in his book, "Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die".

The panoramic views of super-natural Aitutaki Lagoon will definitely leave you breathless.

A place worth visiting, atleast once in a lifetime.
