With its multihued lagoon and rolling plains, it is easy
to see why Aitutaki is called the “Bora Bora of the Cook
Islands.” Although eerily similar to Bora Bora in
appearance, Aitutaki has a personality all of its own.
Home to two of the Cook Island’s leading resorts,
Aitutaki’s standing as an “it” island hasn’t tainted its
South Seas charm. Reminders of old Polynesia hide
around every corner. Most of the island’s 2,100
residents work the coconut, pineapple, and banana
plantations dotting the island, and can be found fishing
one of the South Pacific’s most beautiful lagoons on the
weekends. That is not to say that Aitutaki doesn’t have
its fair share of modern day pleasures, a stroll though
Arutanga village will assure you of this, but shopping
will be the last thing on your mind when you have an
entire beach to yourself and can doze off listening to
the wind tousle the trees. |
