LAGOON CRUISE:

Another "Must do" would be a cruise on the lagoon so we recommend you make plans to do that. If you google “Aitutaki Lagoon Cruise” or the names of the different cruise operators, you will find information that will be helpful.

We would recommend all of the Cruise operators as all are similar but have their own flavor.
