Aitutaki Map

So how does one get to Aitutaki? International flights arrive from New Zealand, Australia, Los Angeles USA and Tahiti. The main airlines are Air New Zealand and Pacific Blue (Virgin's Pacific carrier). Flights also come in from Nadi Fiji on Air Pacific's regional aircraft.

The International Airport is on the Cook Islands' main island of Rarotonga. From there, one flies in a northerly direction for about 160 miles, via an Air Rarotonga flight, taking about 40 minutes in a Saab 340 aircraft. The plane descends to the runway on the northern tip of Aitutaki Island and you will feel you are arriving in paradise.

The map shows the Aitutaki Lagoon, main island of Aitutaki and the many small islands ('islets') known as Motu.
