A breaching humpback whale off the coast of Vava'u, Tonga
Every year, from June to November, humpback whales make their way into the protected Port of Refuge. These gentle giants give birth and then care for their young, waiting for them to grow. Witness this beautiful act of nature up close from a tour boat or a charter yacht.
A screwpine plant in Tonga
The lush Ene'io Botanical Gardens are the only site of their kind in the whole of Tonga. Enjoy the emerald green tropical vegetation like screwpine trees as you walk through this groomed paradise. Ene'io Beach is just one minute away and the perfect place to snorkel with the fishes and cool down.
Swallows Cave gets its name from the hundreds of nesting seabirds up top. Access the cave via tour boat and dive or snorkel in quiet blue beauty. Schools of brightly colored fish dart around in the dappled light, and there are multiple levels of the cave to explore.
Restaurants and cafes around Neifau serve up a wealth of traditional Tongan fare. Try lu pulu, chicken or beef and onions marinated in coconut milk and baked in taro leaves in an underground oven. Feke is the seafood version of this dish, with octopus or lobster in place of (or in addition to) the meat. Cruise to Vavau to feast on local seafood like clams, lobster or ota, raw fish marinated in citrus.
Take a leisurely stroll through Utakalongalu Market Place and feast your eyes on the colorful array of goods. During your Tonga cruise, browse through gorgeous handmade shell jewelry, traditional wood or bone carvings and hand-weaved baskets made from pandanus leaves. Everything you see is made by locals living in Vava'u.
