Located 1500 miles north east of New Zealand, Tonga is just below the Tropic of Capricorn. The Vava'u Archipelago is situated at the northern end of the Tongan Islands. This island group provides safe anchorage's and secluded coves, therefore offering one of the world's finest cruising areas. The northern-most group of the Tongan Islands, The Vava'u Archipelago is blessed with a near prefect climate for year round sailing.
It is estimated to have had over 2000 years of settlement. This group of islands is a place of brilliant colours, blue lagoons, fine white coral sand beaches and lush green coconut plantations.
Experienced travellers liken the Vava'u group as being a cross between the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands, with its dramatic deep water drop offs and brilliant shallow lagoons. The Vava'u Archipelago has a population of about 20,000 spread out amoungst its 50 islands. About a third of the population live in or around Neiafu (and the harbour) where there are four nearby villages: Makava, Taoa, Toula and Vaimalo.
