It can be accessed along a cross-island track that takes in the island’s lush forests, with a swim at the base of Wigmore’s Waterfall always a highlight.

Relax on Aitutaki. Famed for its picture-perfect lagoon, Aitutaki is surrounded by crystal clear waters dotted with 21 idyllic motus. You can kayak between the islets to find your own piece of paradise or take a day trip to one of the most visited islets, Tapuaetai.
