Description

Step into tradition at Visitor’s Rock, a hidden historical gem at Arutanga Harbour. This unmarked black flat rock has long been a symbolic welcome point for new arrivals to Aitutaki. While no formal greetings take place today (unless you’re on a cruise), you can still take part in the age-old custom by standing on the rock yourself. A quiet but meaningful stop, it’s a must for those who love discovering local traditions.

Highlights

  • Stand on the historic welcome rock at Arutanga Harbour
  • Experience a unique island tradition for new arrivals
  • Scenic harbour views with fishing boats and palm trees
