Atiu Getting there & around

Getting around

'Atiu is excellent for walking but you'll need wheels if you want to see much of the island.

All places to stay can rent you a motorcycle (NZ$25 per day), either through T & J Rentals (33271; Areora) or by renting out one of their own bikes (although guests get preference if there's a shortage of motorbikes). Atiu Villas and T & J Rentals have a few bicycles as well.

Are Manuiri (33031) rents out a 4WD for NZ$65 per day, and Atiu Villas(33777) has a soft-top jeep for NZ$60 a day.

All accommodation places provide airport transfers for about NZ$14 return.

The only sealed roads on 'Atiu are in the centre of the island near the villages; the rest of the roads are dirt tracks, some of which can be very rough indeed and get extremely muddy after heavy rain (scooters beware).
