The island of Vava'u in Tonga is one of the smaller
Sunsail bases in size but certainly not in what you
will experience! New for this year, our base here is
at Neiafu, the capital of Vava'u and your starting
point for exploring the archipelago of fifty awe-inspiring
islands.
The small ancient Kingdom of Tonga is still as it was
in the late 1870's when Captain James Cook named it the
'Friendly Islands'. Tonga is made up of three island
groups spanning over 200 miles of the South Pacific.
The northern-most group of the Tongan islands, the Vava'u
Archipelago, is blessed with a near-perfect climate for
year-round sailing. Here you will find an array of colourful
surroundings with lush turquoise lagoons, fine white
coral sand beaches and vibrant green coconut plantations.
For those who enjoy dining out, Tongan beach feasts
are regular functions at the local resorts. There are
also a number of island beach bars and restaurants which
are set in amazing anchorages, perfect for sitting back
and watching the beautiful Tongan sunsets.
