Which trip should I choose?
Choose the April–May Aitutaki hosted trip for a fixed departure with the fishing and principal travel arrangements coordinated for you. Choose an Aitutaki private trip for your own dates or a group traveling with partners. Manuae suits anglers looking for a more remote expedition, subject to access approvals and practical arrangements.
Can I bring a non-fishing partner?
Aitutaki is a good starting point for combining fishing with an island holiday. Tell us about your partner’s interests and preferred accommodation so we can discuss activities, room arrangements and costs. Partner arrangements for the dated hosted trip need to be confirmed separately.
How do I get to the islands?
Rarotonga International Airport (RAR) is the gateway for the Aitutaki programs, with a domestic connection to Aitutaki Airport (AIT). Manuae needs separate access planning. Confirm your full itinerary with us before buying international flights, including local dates across the International Date Line.
How experienced do I need to be?
Accurate casting in wind makes a difference on these clear flats. Tell us about your experience, fitness and target species so we can recommend suitable preparation. Manuae’s remoteness adds practical demands; Aitutaki offers a more comfortable base without taking the challenge out of the fishing.
