10 Day
Day 1: Join your yacht in Vava'u and sail to Kapa Island
On Kapa island, snorkel through the heart-shaped entrance into a mystical, blue-lit cavern. Locally known as ‘Picnic Island’ for its past uses by Tongan Royalty for Tongan feasts and celebrations, this picture postcard atoll is so peaceful and serene that you won’t want to leave. The Japanese Coral Gardens provide top-notch snorkeling- keep an eye out for clown fish, starfish, and lionfish.
Day 2: Kapa Island to Fale Vai
Day 3: Fale Vai to Hunga
On the western shore, limestone cliffs flank the lagoon entrance. The lagoon was formed from a volcano crater; it currently offers great fishing.

Trek to the Ika Lahi lookout for expansive views of the ocean.
