Takitumu

The landscape around Takitumu is a narrow tropical coastal strip between Rarotonga’s volcanic interior and the Pacific Ocean, which has shaped both its linear settlement pattern and an economy linked to farming, fishing and tourism. On the island’s southeast coast, the Muri Lagoon area is protected by a coral reef and is known for its calm waters and small offshore islets. Takitumu is one of Rarotonga’s three traditional vaka, a division that remains significant to local identity and community life. The island’s main road follows the coast, while steep, densely vegetated slopes rise close behind it.
