  • As Rarotonga and the Cook Islands wait for a border opening and travel bubble, locals on the outer island of Aitutaki are uniting in their own way to overcome the economic impact.

    So jealous what a beautiful place and special people. Don't be in a hurry to let the tourist back in. You have everything you need to sustain yourselves. What all countries need to do now look inwards not out. Keep yourselves safe and strong. Arohanui.

    I had the good fortune to spend 3 weeks in the Cooks & 1 day on Aitutaki in 1993. Beautiful country full of friendly people. I've never been able to eat a store-bought mango since. Tiny & tasteless compared to the ones falling off the trees there. Very glad to hear that you've kept Covid19 out. I know your economy will recover. Meanwhile, the reef walkers will go on bringing in the fresh fish every day. All the best from a Canadian getting ready for another winter.

    Beautiful place...One Foot Island has so many memories for us when I worked in Rarotonga years ago. Must be a struggle for the Tourism industry right now with Covid and the sooner NZ can re open borders the better....only when the Auckland outbreak is contained and eradicated.

    I was there a few years ago when Aitutaki was less organized to pick off tourists. I arrived for some off shore fishing, which was excellent. The ONE PROBLEM is the presence of STONE FISH in the lagoons and at the tide line and the absence of antidote for stone fish injuries at the inadequate clinic. The centipedes and mosquitoes didn't help me enjoy my stay. The local people run hot and cold. There are some wonderful islanders but then there are some to avoid without knowing who is who. Anyway, it's a long way to go for a holiday and I'm not sure it's really worth the time and cost, these days.
