What you will see
Aitutaki's lagoon, the way locals know it
Captain Dan shares the story of each motu as you go: what makes every island different and why it matters.
Giant trevally
Snorkel alongside the lagoon's big, curious trevally.
Giant clams
See clams in every colour, from electric blue to purple.
Red-tailed tropicbirds (Tavake)
A special sight on our beautiful little motu, these graceful Tavake bring a touch of magic to our tropical islands.
One Foot and Honeymoon
The famous islands, plus quieter motu you may not have heard of.
Meet your hosts
From fishing boat to family charter
Our boat was built to go fishing. Then Mum and Dad asked, "Why don't we try doing a water taxi?" When they moved to Samoa to serve on their mission, Daniel and his wife Lorina took over and grew their water taxi into the private lagoon charters we run today.
We do our very best to be flexible and shape each day around you. Nothing means more to us than guests who come back to Aitutaki and choose another day on the water with us.
From our family to yours.
What our guests say
Support local businesses and enjoy these remote islands without the crowds!
A must trip if you are staying in Aitutaki.
Please book your water taxi with this wonderful family.
