Getting around Aitutaki is easy just hire a motor bike, the island is small and very relaxed with not much on it to do, the lagoon however is the spectacular highlight here.

| Getting around like the locals watch out for 'Aitutaki burn' - well known muffler burn injury for tourists. |

| Typical Aitutaki home with burial plot adjacent. |

| Getting around in safety gear! the things you wouldn't do at home with kids. |

| Aitutaki was the 1st island to accept Christianity in 1821. The Cook Islands Christian Church in Arutanga is the oldest church in the Cook Islands you can attend a service for the experience of the gospel singing and the 'fire and brimstone', we waited out side to witness the women wearing white and ornate hats leaving the service. It was a lovely spectacle to see families take off on motor bikes wearing their Sunday best. |
