Far into the South Pacific Islands lies the beautiful island of Vava'u in the amazingly friendly country of Tonga.
On this day, we took a drive around the main city on Vava'u, Neiafu. The children happen to be going to school and the was band playing. What a cheerful and beautiful experience it was.
One thing I noticed when visiting this beautiful island paradise is that everyone seemed to be smiling, like ALL the time. And more times than not, they waved too.
What a treat it was to catch these kiddos on their way to school.
Another day I saw them out front praying for like 20 minutes and it was raining pretty hard. Now that is awesome.

Vava'u, Tonga Overview and Culture
From the Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, Islands of the South Pacific. Stock footage available from
Transcript:
112 klms' north of TongaTapu is the VAVA'U Group.
This set of 34 raised limestone isles, has a tremendous
coastline with gorgeous white sand beaches and lots of
hideaways to explore.
The Tongans were visited by a great many Pacific explorers
and were a popular port of call. Captain Cook called them the
friendly isles.
The town of Neiafu is a bustling marketplace
on weekdays and Saturdays.
But never on Sunday!
It is actually against the law for a Tongan to engage in business
of any kind on Sunday -- a prohibition laid down by the Christian
missionaries who were among the first Westerners to settle here.
Dancing and singing were such a strong element in Polynesian
life that when Christianity denied them these forms of expression
they redirected their energy to embrace Christian hymns.

Fresh market shops line the streets in Vava'u Tonga.
You can buy just about anything. I was there in August and there were pineapples, bananas, t-shirts new and used, umbrellas, flip-flops, you name it and they pretty much had it there!
This video was shot on my last day in Neiafu, Vava'u. Just walking around the town and down the main streets. Neiafu is very small. Very quaint and a perfect place to just get away from it all.
I would highly recommend a visit to this incredible island if you are looking for places to visit in the south pacific.
Oh yeah, you won't want to miss out on this!

Vaka Vave Charters | Swimming with Humpback Whales | Neiafu Vava'u | Kingdom of Tonga
Please share & subscribe! YOU MIGHT NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN.... PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE DESCRIPTION ! IMPORTANT INFO INCLUDED BEFORE SWIMMING WITH WHALES.
Working on other videos of swimming with humpback whales in Neiafu Vava'u Kingdom of Tonga.
What an amazing time it is of swimming in the Pacific Ocean alongside the humpback whales as they come to Vava'u to give birth to their calf. They swim past the island of Hunga and go off toward Fiji and other South Pacific Ocean islands along with the orca, humpback, beluga and dolphin.
We could not only swim with the whales but we were also just able to sit and whale watch from the boat. My friend Jimmy was not able to get in the water so he was fine simply whale watching from above the water without snorkeling with the whales. I shot lots of amazing video too! Whales coming up for air and splashing on their side, and going below the surface with fins up and whale tails above the water. We must have seen about 30-40 whales on a chartered boat we hired, it was a fast jet boat by Vaka Vave Charters. It was fantastic!
There are only a few places in the world where you can swim with giant whales of this earth! Vava'u Kingdom of Tonga is one, and down in Sri Lanka you can snorkel and swim with giant blue whale. But that's about it. I have heard that down in Tahiti you can swim with the humpbacks also, but i heard that it is really expensive... here in Tonga and Sri Lanka it is still not crowded and very cheap to swim with the whales, BUT, it might not be for long... AND it might not be legal for long too... ;) They may decide to one day ban it. Better do it before you don't ever get the chance to do it. :) Ya' know, carpe diem and all that stuff! ... ;)
In Tonga, there are people who schedule swimming with the whales as THE main thing they do when the come to the South Pacific islands! Every single day they go snorkeling and diving with the whales. It is all they do! :) I met two people on the flights to Fiji and that was what they did for 8 days. WOAAH! :)
On our tour we went with an amazing charter company called Vaka Vave Charter. You will find Diane and Izzy and the whole crew and blast to go with! REALLY you won't be disappointed!!!!! The whales will be quite intrigued by you being there and as you can see they will possibly swim to you.
BUT DO NOT SWIM AT (TOWARDS) THEM AND BY ALL MEAN DO NOT DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!!!!! THIS WILL GET YOU TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM QUICKLY!!! WHALES ARE VERY STRONG AND IF THEY HIT YOU WITH THEIR TAIL OR FIN YOU CAN GET HURT BY THEM. THEY DONT MEAN TO BUT YOU ARE IN THEIR TERRITORY. SO BACK AWAY AND WATCH OUT!!!!

The BEST WAY to travel Vava'u, Tonga | Traveling Tonga Day 9
The best way to travel Vava'u, Tonga, is by scooter! We rented the only scooter on the whole island from Vava'u Adventures and took it around about half of the island for the day. We went through a bunch of little towns and found a couple of beaches that we had all to ourselves! Hopefully the drone footage gives you an idea of what a beautiful country Tonga is! Please give this video a thumbs up and SUBSCRIBE if you really liked it =)
