What our Aitutaki island guests have to say.
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 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, 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 and perhaps
we will make you some sushi or special fish dishes. At Matriki we practice
fishing conservation - never kill what you can't eat in a few days, and
never kill billfish.

Scuba diving is swimming underwater while using self-contained breathing equipment. By carrying a source of compressed air, the scuba diver is able to stay underwater longer than with the simple breath-holding techniques used in Snorkeling and Free-diving, and is not hindered by air-lines to a remote air source. The scuba diver typically swims underwater by using fins attached to the feet. However, some divers also move around with the assistance of a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle), commonly referred to as a "scooter", or by using surface-tethered devices called sleds, which are pulled by a boat. The term SCUBA arose during World War II and originally referred to USA combat frogmen's oxygen rebreathers, developed by Dr. Christian Lambertsen for underwater warfare. Today, scuba typically usually refers to the in-line open-circuit equipment, developed by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, in which compressed gas (usually air) is inhaled from a tank and then exhaled into the water. However, rebreathers (both semi-closed circuit and closed circuit) are also self-contained systems (as opposed to surface-supplied systems) and are therefore classified as scuba. Although the word 'SCUBA' is an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus", it has also become acceptable to refer to scuba as 'scuba equipment' or 'scuba apparatus. Scuba diving may not be for everyone, is seems its a love it or don't really care for it sport. Diving the Aitutaki lagoon and the Cook Islands is certainly a great place to get your feet wet, if your thinking of taking up diving.
