TONGA YACHT CHARTER ITINERARY

Vava'u yacht charter cruising grounds open from Neiafu harbour to the island-studded waters with more than 50 protected anchorages. Some are small remote islets with day anchorages to explore, & others offer more substantial shelter and have villages where you will be welcomed to share the friendship.

Step back in time. Your search for peace, quietness and tranquillity ends here. You'll meet the friendliest of people willing to share their culture with you. Remote idyllic islands, beautiful lagoons, colourful reefs and miles upon miles of deserted white sand beaches all fringed with gently rustling palm trees. The water is warm and clear with exceptional underwater visibility. Splendid coral and colourful fish make snorkelling a dream. Scuba lovers can experience reef, cave and wreck diving at a number of exciting dive sites.

Explore at your own pace …. one relaxed day flows into another. Diving and sportfishing in the Ha'apa islands is superb. Your yacht charter crew will show you the best spots where the clarity and the brilliant underwater kaleidoscope are amazing. Sail from Nuku'alofa or opt to fly direct to the Ha'apais.

Navigation
The reef to the east forms a backbone, which shelters these magical cruising waters from ocean winds and swells. Sailing conditions are excellent with predictable trade winds. Well-marked charts and a cruising guide describe a unique cruising ground that is only 12 miles square. The tide rise and fall is 1 metre.
