Cook Islands vacation. Visiting Aitutaki
Lagoon, Cook
Islands for your vacation is one of the best vacation
destination decisions you may ever make. The Aitutaki lagoon is as
idyllic a place as you will ever find; many poets and writers have spun
thousands of lines describing its wonders and beauty. Matriki Beach
Huts was built on the foundation that all people should be able to
enjoy this splendor without the high costs associated with such remote
travel. Aitutaki lagoon offers snorkeling,
Scuba
diving, fishing,
whale
watching, picnicking
on beautiful
beaches, sailing, kayaking,
and much more. While snorkeling, you can view a myriad of colorful
fish and see first-hand the
giant clams of Aitutaki and the South Pacific; these clams
are now protected in four separate reserves in the Aitutaki lagoon. Bone
fishing is a thrill all its own - although we don't eat the
fish they are truly a rush to stalk and catch. Fishing
for pelagic species outside of the Aitutaki lagoon offers up Yellow
Fin Tuna (Ahi), Dorado
(dolphin fish), Wahoo,
and array of jacks and snapper. Bring some of your catch back for the
BBQ. At Matriki we practice fishing conservation - never kill what you
can't eat in a few days, and never kill billfish. The local Aitutaki scuba
diving operator
will safely show you some of the Cook Islands best diving; they are
safe, reliable, and very knowledgeable. Matriki has Hobie cats for
hire, sail the Aitutaki lagoon and discover what all the fuss is about
for yourself. Your hosts are always there to answer questions, take you
on tours, sailing adventures, fishing trips, and more.
