Tonga, Islands in Paradise



New Zealand has sheep but Tonga wins the prize for the most pigs.  We love the pigs, so cute!
S/V Asolare ghosts past us on our first morning in Tongan waters.

Reef walking on Nuku island, Vava'u

Beach walking Kapa Island, Vava"u

Euaiki Island, Vavu'u.  A short stop before our overnight to the Ha'apai Group.

Three islands in the Ha'apai Group.  The volcanic, cone shaped island, Kao, is where the mutiny on the Bounty occurred.

Perfect waves, no crowd in sight.

Kelefesia Island.  Ashore is a fishing camp, occasionally used, plus healthy resident pigs and their piglets.
