Destination of the Month
Tonga – Vava’u
Vava’u is an accumulation of Tonga’s northernmost islands. Hop on a plane for a scenic flight over the South Pacific to reach these beautiful islands.
It is said that these islands of paradise were created by the Polynesian demigod, Maui, who fished up the seafloor with a magic hook. The truth isn’t too far off legend, as the islands are composed of coral limestone which has been thrust to the surface due to tectonic activity some estimated 85 million years ago when the Pacific Ocean first formed. The island is made up of raised coral cliffs, creating a stunning rugged coastline, riddled with waterways, bays, natural harbours and channels.
The many atolls and sheltered natural harbours of Vava’u make it a haven for anyone interested in sailing. There’s endless little coves to explore and local skippers to take you on a real South Pacific adventure!
