This boat is ready to be lifted
Coming back from deep-sea fishing
A bay of islands
Another fishing boat
Going back to the pier
Resorts on nearby islands
Such pretty water
More resorts, but no beach front
Our boats coming back one-by-one
Spotted some coconut plantations
A small boat landing
Another small fishing boat
Racing back
Traveling between islands
Smaller boats
Our boat
Looks almost deserted
The pilot
Coral beds surround the island
Port of Refuge
Private island
We are on our way by 3pm
Tiny boat
Pilot's job is done
Boat landing
A private resort
Not a bad place for a vacation
A hillside hotel
A resort with a view
Vava'u has 61 islands
Some larger than others
Watching for dolphins
Saw a few terns
Gone fishing…..
Crevices along the island
A tern….not many around
Caverns cut by the water
Many caves
A few of us stayed on the aft deck at sail away
Caves
A whale? No, just a blowhole
Coconuts planted on the hillside
Coral-lined islet
Terns skimming the water
Coconut grove
Getting towards the end
Fortunate sighting of a tropic bird
He was fast
And flying high
Leaving Tonga
Niua Island, part of Tonga
Cliffs of Vava'u
The last big island
Good place to sit
Entrance to the bay
No whale sightings today
