VAVA'U is one of the top travel destinations in Tonga. In the laid-back oceanfront town of Neiafu one can find restaurants, cafes, handicraft shops plus many operators offering diving or fishing charters. Whalewatching is another activity at certain times of the year. Island Explorer guest house offers two budget accommodations - comfortable apartments with self-catering facilities. It makes a convenient holiday base for those who wish to be within walking distance of Neiafu and have access to the various trips and tours. The Canadian owners can organise transfers from the airport and their driver offers guided tours of the main island.
