islet beach
- Go to church to listen to harmonious choir singing. A blend
of Polynesian / Missionary culture.
- Visit Araura College. Make a donation to this Aitutaki high
school. If you're a teacher phone the principal about what
interesting topic you can be a guest teacher to the students.
When I was head of the science department the school used to
sing during assembly in a wonderful, cool thatched roofed
assembly hall. The Araura college library would be happy to
shelve that holiday book you've just finished reading on
Aitutaki.

- Even if you're not into fishing or diving. Get your Aitutaki
Lagoon cruise operator to take you OUTSIDE the barrier reef on a calm
day with your camera to get a different view of Aitutaki extinct
volcano sticking out of the Pacific Ocean. From memory it
was in the wonderful month of balmy November when whales swam
under my yacht.
- Sunbake northern side of "Black Rock" Amuri village beach.
- Have a massage. Polynesians are good at massaging especially
with coconut oil.
- Crab hunting tour at night.
- Night spear fishing. Calm summer nights are best. Keep in mind
"Ben's Law of Lagoon Turbidity"
- Chat with locals at a bar. Make sure you order breadfruit chips
with salt and vinegar.
- Watch a rugby union football match. It's Aitutaki's replacement
for intervillage warfare; with the only difference is they don't eat
the loosers any more. It's a hoot. Some of the excited mama's used
to brown eye the opposition.
- Tennis
- Go on another Aitutaki Lagoon Cruise
- Pony riding
- Chicken hunting. Ask to hide with a local springing a trap.
- Visit historical Polynesian stones, central south of Aitutaki
island.
- If you've got time and money and weather is right, charter a
boat to Manuai island lagoon, owned by Aitutakians.
