    Vaka Cruise brought us to One Foot Island

    A great way to see the lagoons, and learn about the story of the island's name. The people are warm and very happy to share their culture and music.

    Beautiful outer atoll.

    One foot island is a beautiful little atoll in the Aitutaki lagoon, with white sand beaches & surrounded with warm, shallow waters to wade or swim in while enjoying the colorful fish.

    A beautiful place for a walk

    We got the Passport stamp. Its the only thing to do besides relax on the island. Some tour companies have lunch there.

    You have to go there

    The views you get on this island is what they use on "Paradise on earth" posters. Not much to do, but it is short trip, a truly breathtaking views, and usually a part of some snorkeling tour. Definitely recommend

    Absolutely Beautiful!

    This whole area is a must see! The water, the sky, the sand! One Foot Island is beautiful, bought postcards and they were very fast in getting to North America! We got here with Bishops Tours. An Amazing Day!

    Nice Beach

    Nice beach, bring your own post-cards if you want to post from here as the “post office” occasionally runs out. Apart from the post office most other motus are just as good

    We went with Captain Puna of Ariki Adventures - would highly recommend! We booked ahead of time but you can always book when you get to the island.
