Aitutaki Atoll, Cook Islands

This magnificent and remote island is the stuff of which dreams are made. It consists of three volcanic and 12 coral islets (motus). The lagoon is a continually changing palette of blues, greens and greys, and the nearest horizon is the encircling reef. The high point of any visit to Aitutaki is a lagoon cruise. Several operators run these and most boats go to Tapuatae, One Foot Island, at the far south-eastern corner of the huge lagoon.
