If you've seen the Air NZ safety video you would think it is photoshopped. If you're there by yourself you encounter it is reality: paradise on earth!!

The lagoon has a channel about four meters wide that flows along the beach in front of the resorts which was great for swimming. Then just beyond that there is a sandbar that stretches way out into the lagoon that varies from knee deep at high tide to ankle deep at low tide – you can walk halfway across the lagoon! Get a kayak and explore the coral.

We booked dinner here for New Years Eve on the recommendation of our resort. Wow! So unexpectedly beautiful and welcoming. All for the a la carte price of dinner we were part of the torch lighting ceremony and fire dancing plus a count down to midnight. We started the night out with coctails on the lagoon which is one of our favorite places to relax while looking out to the motu.

The lagoon is like no other. The water is so clear and warm! I would highly recommend a visit if you are on the island.
