We spent six weeks in Vava’u (Tonga ) and loved it. We were in the water snorkeling nearly everyday and managed to identify 158 species of fish (well Heidi did, Stephen has an aesthetic appreciation). Rather than bore with a long species list we put together a slide show of underwater images. The soundtrack is a recording of Humpback Whales singing that we managed to record on a flat calm day without any boat traffic around. We thought it was fitting to give you, dear reader, the virtual experience as we did often hear humpbacks singing while we were underwater!

Regatta Vava'u
During our first week in Vava’u, Tonga we spent getting our feet on the ground and did a little exploring. We found a lovely bakery in town (Neiafu), spent some time in the morning market for provisions, then we sailed out the harbour to explore a few of the islands. We tucked into the lagoon of Hunga Island with one of the narrowest entrance channels we’ve been through. We walked through the sleepy village and along a trail in the mango trees. Then we sailed around into the bight of Nuapapu to snorkel the coral gardens.
Our dramatic dingy-launch finish! |
