Anatakitaki Cave, or the Cave of the Kopekas, is a karst cave located on Atiu, Cook Islands. The cave is a large solutional cave, with many offshoot chambers and passages. A freshwater lake is to be found at the base of the cave. The Tiroto Tunnel connects this lake to the Pacific Ocean, and can be waded along until the last portion which is totally submerged. There is a great array of all sorts of speleothems decorating the cave throughout its length.

Roots, mainly from banyan trees, permeate the cave to its furthest depths.
