Motu

Tiny islands that delight

There are 15 motu (small islands) in Aitutaki lagoon that are an absolute joy to visit.

One-Foot Island

Your introduction is likely to be a lagoon cruise. Most such cruises stick to the eastern side of the lagoon and a visit to One-Foot Island (Tapuaetai - this entry’s map location) is a highlight. A look at the image below will confirm why the motu was nicknamed One-Foot.

Looking back towards the camera from the heel, you’ll note a sandy ‘island’ that is only just above sea level. Dependent on conditions, it’s possible to walk through thigh-to-waist deep water between the two. This is an absolute highlight (see image below).

Honeymoon Island

Teking Cruise also visits Maina & Honeymoon Islands at the southwest corner of the lagoon. Honeymoon is where the kite-boarders come to play and an absolute stunner.
