Market Tour | Vava'u Island Tonga South Pacific
Please share & subscribe! YOU MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN....
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!

Kingdom of Tonga Vavau Island Group South Pacific Travel Destination
Tonga is a magnificently beautiful country. The Kingdom is a constitutional Monarchy, modeled after England and uses English law as its base. Located in the grand South Pacific, Tonga is between Tahiti and Fiji, an independent island nation in the southern Pacific Ocean, located approximately 650 km (approximately 400 mi) southeast of Fiji and approximately 1,850 km (approximately 1,150 mi) northeast of New Zealand. Tonga is the only remaining Polynesian monarchy. The Vava’u Island Group. This Cluster of islands, North of the Ha’apai Group, is the most spectacular in Tonga. Vava’u is Tonga’s northern island group, made up of over 60 high and thickly forested isles. An attractive, rather hilly main island surrounded by many others, Vava’u has high cliffs which combine to create many deep fiord-like bays. There are many good beaches but you will have to look for them. The main town of Neiafu is built on a hillside facing Port of Refuge Harbor, one of the best in the South Pacific. Neiafu, the administrative capitol of the Vava‘u Island Group, is one of Tonga’s principal ports. Rich, volcanic soils help make agriculture the primary economic activity in the islands, and products include copra, vanilla, and pumpkins. Vava’u Island is rather large and has kilometer after kilometer of beautiful countryside making for some interesting bicycle rides.

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.

Huge Coconut Crab!! ???? (UNLIKE Any Other Crab on Earth!!) South Pacific Islands
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:
???? T-shirts:
???? Ghost Chili:
LAU ISLANDS, FIJI - We’re in the remote Lau Islands group in Fiji, only accessible by boat, and today we’re going to Vuaqava Island, where they are known for their coconut crabs!
First of all, thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: and to Captain Cook Cruises ( for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise.
We docked near the uninhabited Vuaqava Island, Lau Islands, Fiji, which is known for its natural beauty, incredible seas, and also for being an island full of coconut crabs! Coconut crabs are definitely unique, and they are a huge delicacy in Fiji and for the local population on the Lau Islands. They all mentioned that they coconut crabs are so tasty and so delicious that they don’t need any extra seasoning or cooking - all you have to do is boil them for about 10 - 15 minutes and eat. The crabs eat mostly a diet of coconut, so they have a sweet coconut taste to them, and the fat in the stomach (similar to the tomalley on other crabs), is like a natural coconut crab pudding with a complexity of flavor. It was an amazing experience to be with local Fijians on a remote island eating coconut crab.
Next up on this Fijian crab tour we visited another island - Totoya Island, Lau Islands, Fiji where we had the honor to cook and eat another Fijian food delicacy of land crabs, cooked in coconut milk. The crabs were boiled then fully deshelled, then mixed with onions and chiles, and lots of coconut milk, and re-filled back into their shells. They were boiled again until the coconut milk thickened into a creamy crab sauce. You eat them with a fresh squeeze of local lime and chili, and it’s something truly magically delicious.
What a day of Fijian food and the freshest crabs from the source!

NAUSORI, FIJI - Welcome to the beautiful islands of Fiji and today we’re on the main island and going on an ultimate Fijian food tour. Get ready for some of the tastiest local food in all of Fiji!
First of all, a huge thank you to my friend Andhy Blake, he’s a TV host and Fijian producer who loves to eat and who arranged our entire trip to Fiji. Check him out
Here’s all the places we visited on this ultimate Fijian food tour:
1. Nausori Market, Nausori, Fiji (
We first walked around the main Nausori Market for a taste of all the local ingredients. We stopped to eat at Tee Totoka for their famous tea buns. And Finally met with Sera, who owns the greatest seafood stall at the market selling Kovu Kaikoso - Sea Clams in Coconut Milk!
2. Elvis Kana Place, Nausori, Fiji (
One of the most delicious of all Fijian foods is rourou with mutton, raro leaves with mutton, and it was an honor to see the full cooking process before eating it.
3. Namuka Village, Fiji - Continuing our tour, we visited a village just outside Nausori that’s famous for making vakalolo - a cassava coconut dessert.
4: Mokani Village, Fiji - Something else you have to try when you visit Fiji is called bila - fermented cassava bread, and no one does it better than here.
5: The Bar Belle, Suva, Fiji (
The food tour isn’t over, we drove on to Suva, the largest city in Fiji to eat at The Bar Belle, a laid back restaurant serving local Fijian seafood.
6: Tasty BBQ, Nausori, Fiji - This Fijian food tour wouldn’t be complete with some Fijian street food, and I’m talking about Fijian BBQ that includes lamb chops and sausage!
We had an incredible time visiting Fiji and I can’t wait to share more delicious and unseen food with you coming up in more videos in this series.

Indian Food in Fiji!! Unseen INDIAN FIJIAN FOOD in the Pacific Islands! ????????
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:
???? T-shirts:
???? Ghost Chili:
SUVA, FIJI - Today we’re learning about Indians in Fiji, many of whom have been here for generations. Most arrived as indentured servants working on sugar plantations, but they brought with them their culture, customs and of course their food. Today we’re going on an Indian Fijian food tour - we’ll see how it’s similar to Indian food in Indian, and yet has its own distinct taste to Fiji!
A huge thank you to my friend Andhy Blake, he’s a TV host and Fijian producer who loves to eat and who arranged our entire trip to Fiji. Check him out
1. Zamzam Restaurant, Suva, Fiji (
To begin this Indian food tour in Fiji we’re starting at one of the most popular restaurants in Suva, Zamzam. They serve over 40 different dishes a day, with a mix of Indian Fijian, even Chinese, and halal dishes. The food is outstanding and their rotis are insanely soft. Eating at Zamzam is a must when you’re in Suva, and will satisfy all of your curry needs.
2. Babasiga Halal Bites, Nausori, Fiji
We’re continuing this tour in Nausori, where Andhy is from and to Babasiga Halal Bites, that’s legendary across Fiji for their lamb bone curry. It’s famous for a reason, it’s so tasty with just the right amount of masala.
3. Home Cooked duck masala
To finish off this Indian Fijian food tour we headed over to a friend of Andhy whose mother makes the greatest duck masala is all of Fiji! She used 2 fresh ducks, washed in turmeric, and stewed in no less than three of her own hand roasted masalas. The result was truly magical.
It was another delicious day in Fiji, learning a lot about the history of Indians and their amazing food in Fiji.

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 =)

Fiji Hot Rock Oven!! ???? Unseen FIJIAN FOOD + Remote Pacific Island Life!
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:
???? T-shirts:
???? Ghost Chili:
LAU ISLANDS, FIJI - We’re in extremely remote Fiji, in the Lau group of islands, also some of the most beautiful and unvisited islands in Fiji. We had the special opportunity to go into a number of island Fijian villages to learn about the culture and especially cook and eat the local food.
Thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: and to Captain Cook Cruises ( for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise to the remote Lau Islands - only accessible by boat.
1. Vanua Balavu Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
We arrived to our first island called Vanua Balavu. I love how Fiji is very traditional and when you arrive to a village they still have a protocol to respect the traditional land owners and ask the permission of the village Chief. To do so we brought kava with us to present to the Chief and once accepted we were able to be on the island and start filming. They prepared a dish called Vakasakera, moringa leaves with coconut milk, barracuda fish, and some local shellfish similar to abalone. After an amazing meal, we toured and swam around the Bay of Islands - spectacular!
2. Fulaga Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
We continued our cruise in Fiji to the Fulaga islands, sometimes regarded as the most beautiful islands in all of Fiji - maybe in the South Pacific. The island is famous for their local sea cockles, which looked quite a lot like huge blood cockles. They harvested them right out of the ocean then opened them up and marinated them with onions and lime juice and coconut milk. Freshest and most delicious cockles ever.
3. Kabara Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
Finally to continue this remote Fijian food tour we visited Kabara island where they prepared, along with Captain Cook Cruises, a Fijian lovo for 100 people! A lovo is the Fijian version of an underground hot rock oven which is common throughout Melanesia and Polynesia and in other cultures around the world. It was a fantastic process and the food was smoky and tender.

Hundreds of miles below the equator in the South Pacific Ocean lies an amazing group of islands simply named Tonga.
I visited Vava'u island in the Vava'u Group, where got to swim with whales, attend church, attend the school, and spend time leisurely laying around and getting some sun.
The island of Vava'u is incredibly lush and the people are so very warm and hospitable.
This video is from a walk through the middle of town where a local band just happened to be singing their praises out to the Lord.
Oh yeah, you won't want to miss out on this!
