The Aitutaki Day Tour operates Mondays to Saturdays from Rarotonga, departing at 8 am and returning by 5.30 pm. Coach transfer from all hotels and resorts to Rarotonga International Airport are available for an 8 am departure to Aitutaki. The flight takes 50 minutes on our thirty four passenger Saab 340 pressurised regional airliner.

On arrival at Aitutaki you will be taken on a one hour island tour by 'le truck'. Then it's on to the highlight of the day - The Vaka Cruise aboard the 21 metre vaka (catamaran) Titi-ai-Tonga. The vaka has comfortable covered seating as well as deck sun loungers. Access is easily negotiated for people with physical challenges including those in wheel chairs. There is time for snorkelling and swimming before stopping for a tasty barbecue lunch, cooked right on board. Anyone who has not snorkelled before will find our tour guides happy to help you to experience the wonder of the lagoons underwater world. It's not that hard and after a short lesson most people will find snorkelling easy. The cruise stops at several motu (small islets) including One Foot Island, before passing by Akaiami, once a stopover for huge TEAL (Tasman Empire Airways Limited) Shorts Solent flying boats en route from Fiji to Tahiti on the famous weekly Coral Route. Snorkelling gear and towels are provided on the lagoon cruise. We recommend you bring a light change of clothing, sun protection and lots of extra film or memory cards for your camera.
