Itinerary
Sailing in Vava’u is especially rewarding for those who seek a
remote unspoiled paradise, combining trade-winds sailing with
crystal clear sheltered water.
Each day we can visit a different island in the Vava’u group, or
on longer trips it is sometimes preferable to stay 2 nights in an
anchorage and explore several snorkeling spots. Most of the islands
we visit are uninhabited with white sand beaches and interesting
reefs for snorkeling. We can also visit an island with a Tongan
village and attend a Tongan feast, where the food is authentic and
delicious, and the local children perform traditional Tongan dances.
You may want to take one or more dinners onshore at one of the very
small and interesting resorts in the outer islands.

average temperature of 23C / 77F. The average daytime high
