What Time Zone is used for Aitutaki?
Is there Wi-Fi that we can use?

Can I get a Local SIM Card for my phone?

Yes. You can get a Vodafone Travel SIM from the Vodafone store. This is a 5 min drive to the town.

Don't forget to take your Passport for ID when you go.

Why can't I arrive on Sunday?

Aitutaki is a religious community, and Sunday is the day that the majority of residents attend church.  This is also why you will find a number of the local businesses are closed on a Sunday.

This also allows us to ensure our staff get the day off to attend their church services.
