A lagoon so beautiful it looks completely fake! #cookislands #aitutaki #vacation
This is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAGOON IN THE WORLD. And this is the BEST way to see it. Don’t even fight me on it. 🏝️💥 Imagine stepping onto a Polynesian style vaka, the most neon turquoise water you’ve ever seen sparkling in every direction. Within minutes, you’re gliding through one of the most stunning lagoon in the world, island hopping, snorkeling with giant trevally (GTs) right off the boat (take your jewelry off!!) and feasting on a fresh fish BBQ with the ocean as your backdrop. 🐠✨ And here’s the best part… you don’t even have to stay overnight (though I highly recommend it). The Vaka Cruise offers a same day trip from Rarotonga with Air Rarotonga where they’ll fly you in the morning, whisk you straight to the boat, and have you back in time for dinner. But honestly? Once you’re here, you’ll never want to leave. I stayed in Aitutaki for a few days, soaking in the slow pace, the blindingly blue water, and sunsets you can’t even dream up. 🌺🩵 📍 Aitutaki, Cook Islands ⛵️ Vaka Cruise = your front row seat to paradise @tourismcookislands @airrarotonga9057 #islandlife #tropicalparadise #solotrip #solotravel #bucketlisttravel #travelvlog #snorkeling #islandhopping
