  • North of Raratonga, Aitutaki is the second most visited island. The beaches here are stunning, and more secluded than those on Raratonga.

  • If possible, visit a Sunday Mass while you’re on the islands. This is quite an experience and the singing is amazing. Dress for the occasion – certainly no beach wear or overly casual clothes. Islanders will dress up in their Sunday best for church.
