Anatakitaki Cave (Kopeka Cave)

The most well known of Atiu's limestone caves, it is named for the Kopeka birds that build nests in between the stalactites of the cavern. These birds navigate through the dark caves, guided by the echoes of their clicking sounds.

Reviewed By 5Aitutaki

The trek to the caves is a half an hour walk through the beautiful nature. Wear walking shoes and insect repellent!
