Step back in time at Akaiami, the historic landing site of TEAL’s Coral Route flying boats. From 1951 to 1960, this picturesque islet served as a glamorous stopover for passengers travelling between New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Aitutaki and Tahiti. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the old wharf, where travellers once disembarked into paradise. Reach Akaiami via a lagoon cruise or water taxi and experience a piece of aviation history in a breathtaking island setting.
