The most beautiful lagoon in the world?
Maina Island, Aitutaki Lagoon, Cook Islands.
The most beautiful lagoon in the world? That small island in the far corner of the lagoon is called 'Maina'. It is the most remote island on the atoll and after kayaking island to island for a week we decided to camp out under the stars by ourselves on this island on the night of the full moon. That night was one of the most memorable we've had in all of our travels. We felt SO out there!!! Just us and a gorgeous lagoon, billions of stars, not a sign of civilization and thousands of miles of the blue pacific in every direction. This was taken from the prop plane ride back to Rarotonga, the capital of the Cook Islands. Photo © copyright by Michael Anderson.
