Matangi Swing
SightseeingPhotospot
Directions

Suspended over the shallow, electric blue waters of Aitutaki Lagoon, the Matangi Swing is one of the most picture-perfect and sought-after photo spots in the entire country. The rustic wooden swing offers a classic, carefree tropical aesthetic, framed beautifully by a backdrop of blindingly white sand and endless turquoise ocean.

It is an absolute dream for those looking to capture a striking, minimalist island perspective. While you can visit on your own accord, because the spot is a highlight of a specific guided experience please make sure to tag the tour company (Matangi Tours Bus) when you share your photos or videos on social media to support the locals who keep it running.
