Neiafu, in Vava'u, Tonga, is a rustic town, with friendly people and a beautiful and wild botanic garden. It is the second largest town in Tonga with a population just under 4,000 people. The islands of Vava’u are an unspoiled tropical paradise. Spectacular snorkeling and diving in the smaller islands in this chain. Clear water with abundant sea life, coral reefs, white sandy beaches, abundant seabirds, and scenic beauty add to the allure of this place. The Polynesian culture tells the story of the god Maui, who created these islands by reaching into the bottom of the sea with his magic hook and pulling these islands out and up to the surface. Besides tourism and fishing, the main industries here also include agriculture where vanilla beans, pineapple and other tropical fruits are grown. Pearls are cultured, and giant clams are farmed.
