Motu Aito Paradise Restaurant (South Pass)
16° 30.4′ S · 145° 27.2′ W
A small red-roofed pension on its own motu just east of the south-pass moorings. It cooks wood-fired pizza and Polynesian dinners for cruisers who book ahead.
Practical
Lunch and dinner with 5-6 hours' notice, daily, except when they have no guests (Soggy Paws). Other reports ask for 24 hours. Ph +689 87 21 62 62, motu-aito@mail.pf. Prices reported (pre-2024; verify locally): all-you-can-eat pizza 2,500 XPF, dinner 3,500 XPF. They often do not answer VHF, so dinghy in to book. The approach by dinghy winds through coral, so go in good light. They also arrange airport-to-Tetamanu boat transfers for arriving crew (2023), and Top Dive's south base has operated from here.
