TONGA ISLAND HOPPER

 

Tonga is made up of approximately 171 islands all of which offer something special. With it’s wonderfully warm and crystal clear waters one of the best ways to experience the many islands is by sea kayak with the freedom to snorkel, view the amazing marine world and even visit magical underwater caves.

 

Our Adventure will be travelling in and around the Vava’u islands, Northernmost of Tonga’s four island groups. Transferring by plane from our project base in Nuku’Alofa we will be based in the port of Neiafu from where we will embark on our voyage, stopping off to spend approximately 8 days and nights on deserted tropical islands camping on the stunning beaches.

 

Vava’u is among the world’s best places to see sperm whales and the only place in the world where you can actually get in and swim with them! We will spend a whole day with these wonderful creatures aboard a purpose built boat before returning to land for a beach barbeque.

 

Other highlights include zorbing, diving, catamaran sailing trips and much more with the option to go marlin fishing and diving in a marine paradise.
