Get lost on these untamed islands

Aitutaki, Cook Islands This magnificent and remote island is a triangular-shaped ‘almost’-atoll, rising 13,123 feet (4000 metres) from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Consisting of three volcanic and 12 coral islets (motu), the first European visitor was probably Captain Bligh who passed by on the Bounty in 1789, just days before his crew famously mutinied.
