One Foot Island also known as Tapuaetai in Cook Islands Maori has a historical background and many locals have their own stories of how it came to be called Tapuaetai. It is one of sixteen tiny islands (motu) scattered in Aitutaki’s stunning turquoise lagoon and other than the occasional local fisherman that visit there is no other person in sight after the last lagoon cruise departs in the late afternoon. After then you have the entire island to yourself.
