The Coral Gardens, nestled between Vaka’eitu and Nuapau Islands in Vava’u is a world-class snorkelling destination. As you drift along with the current, you'll swim through valleys of vibrant coral, surrounded by diverse marine life. The journey to reach this underwater paradise involves navigating a coral shelf, adding an element of adventure to the experience, but is best attempted at high tide and when the swell isn't too severe. This activity is free to yachties, but landlubbers can join snorkelling tours from Neiafu.
