Excursion Lagoon cruise with beach break tour at Aitutaki
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Aitutaki's deep blue lagoon is considered to be one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. Part volcanic and part atoll, the island's geographical structure makes this lagoon extremely unique in the region.
Arrive to a welcome ceremony and step on the special welcome stone. Then take a leisurely cruise across the lagoon, visiting sand bars where you can stand in 2 feet of water and hand-feed schools of colorful tropical fish, or see giant clams up close. Visit one of many motus (islets) where the red-tailed tropic birds (tavake) nest. Snorkel off of Honeymoon Island and again at One Foot Island for some beautiful underwater viewing.
Enjoy a BBQ picnic lunch on One Foot Island. After lunch take time to walk around the island perhaps getting your passport stamped at the One Foot Island Post Office. You can also go swimming or just relax on the white sand beach, admiring the turquoise lagoon before you.
Return to the pier.
