Deserted Islands and Tropicbirds: Escape to Aitutaki, Cook Islands in Polynesia

Step into a world untouched by time—where turquoise lagoons meet deserted white-sand beaches, and vibrant seabirds soar overhead. On Aitutaki, one of the jewels of the Cook Islands, I found myself living a real-life Robinson Crusoe moment: alone on a pristine island, tracing the first footprints in the sand, following crabs along coral-strewn shores, and capturing the colors of paradise through my lens. Join me as I explore the beauty, stillness, and raw wonder of this South Pacific escape.
