Beautiful Vava'u

I am back home from an Awesome holiday in Tonga, "The Friendly Islands". I spent 10 Beautiful days on a charter yacht in the Vava'u islands, a beautiful group of islands around 400 nautical miles North of Tongatapu. The islands are well known for the humpback whales which swim there from the Antarctic to give birth and mate. We were fortunate enough to see a whale, but we didn't get to swim with it as it seemed to be a very shy whale. We had beautiful weather for most of the trip and did a lot of snorkelling and diving. I hope you enjoy the photos.
