City advice
Getting around
Transport is limited in the island
There is not public transport so you will have to rent a scooter or any vehicle. Unless you are willing to walk or be self sufficient in the bungalow I strongly advise to book a vehicle for transportation.
What to pack
Bring any delicacy - things are hard to get in the island.
The islands is limited in supply so bring any delicacies that you wish to have. You can also bring sunscreen one which is coral friendly- and mosquitoes spray as well as snorkeling shoes.
Book before you go
Essential: Visitor SIM card
Please take a visitor SIM card on arrival it’s valid 2 weeks and is really handy to be connected in case of issues or emergency- the island and businesses don’t offer free wifi yet as it’s still very costly.
Travelling with kids
Bring mosquito spray children friendly
You won’t find product for children in Aitutaki so bring you own supply.
