Standing at just 124 meters, Maunga Pu is the highest point on Aitutaki, offering a massive visual reward for a relatively short effort. The clay track cuts through low-lying island scrub, taking only about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the grassy summit.

From the top, you are treated to the absolute best vantage point in the country. The panoramic views allow you to trace the entire shape of the main island and look down into the vast expanse of the world-famous lagoon, watching the deep blue ocean transition into a brilliant patchwork of turquoise and white sandbars.
