Day 6: Aitutaki

Today is your final full day in Aitutaki, so why not head back out onto the lagoon or arrange a picnic on the beach? Alternatively, relax in your luxury resort and take advantage of the on-site spa with a traditional Polynesian massage - the perfect way to unwind at the end of your trip.
