Vava'u Island Group

Welcome to the adventure hub of the Kingdom of Tonga. An azure tropical labyrinth of 61 different islands dotted with coral gardens, deserted beaches and shimmering clear lagoons, the northern Vava’u group presents a bucket list of ‘Must Do’ Tongan activities. From June to November share Vava’u’s warm waters with gentle Humpback whales, harnessing the islands’ sustaining environment to care for their newly-born calves and breed for another generation. Take advantage of Vava’u’s worldwide reputation as a superbly sheltered yacht cruising ground, exploring hidden coves and atolls with a friendly local skipper, or take charge yourself to make the most of Tonga’s steady trade winds. Accept the challenge of a game fishing expedition, catching or tagging the mighty blue marlin and other impressive pelagic species. Below the waves, Vava’u’s beauty lingers, with crystalline visibility of up to 30 metres illuminating remote sea caves and history-laden shipwrecks. Plentiful snorkelling locations – often right from the beaches surrounding boutique resorts and eco lodges – make exploring Vava’u’s underwater spectacle accessible for visitors of all abilities. After all these authentic Polynesian adventures, relax and recharge in Neifau’s cafes and restaurants, and make plans for the rest of your stay. Ultimately, it will be tough to choose from Vava’u’s extended adventure menu, including jet kayaking, sea kayaking and kite boarding.

"The first thing you notice when you arrive at the airport is that everyone is relaxed, and that's the way it stays for your whole time in Tonga, it's a genuine sense of relaxation."
