You are here ... Tonga » Vava'u Group 
THINGS TO SEE AND DO The Vava'u (pronounced "vav-ah-oo") Group of islands lies 240km (150 miles) north of Tongatapu and is the northernmost of Tonga's three island groups. It is fairly isolated and many of the local people live a traditional subsistence lifestyle, owning small farms and serving most of their needs from what they produce. This group of 50 or so thickly wooded islands has a number of accommodation options. There is a daily 1-hour flight from the capital and a weekly ferry service; private cruisers and ferries also operate from the harbour at Neiafu, the main town. There is excellent diving, with visibility often as much as 30m (100ft). Vava'u is also popular for the fabulous beaches, swimming, snorkelling, and reef viewing and is a mecca for sport fishing and big game fishing. Local attractions include the Fangatongo Royal Residence, the view from Mount Talau and Sailoame Market in Neiafu. |
