Water Tours - Tour Operators & Rentals
Swallows Cave
This huge beautiful cave can be visited by boat only on the end of Kapa Island.
Mariners Cave
This famous underwater cave is well worth the effort needed to swim in. Watch out for hitting the roof when swimming in and out. Fantastic atmosphere inside with fog forming and vanishing on every swell. Hard to find as unmarked and several false caves close by.
One of the great assets Vavau can offer is the ability to visit so many different islands. With 35 of 70 the islands sheltered by the reefs and accessible by small boats. It is still possible to be dropped off on your own island to swim snorkel and explore the day away. There are a number of tour operators offering different types of tours.
