While it may not offer the most extensive views among Vava'u's lookouts, its elevated platform with a spiral staircase is quite unique. The site holds a legendary status in local folklore, named after a handsome mana’ia named Lepuha who built his residence here to gaze upon Tapana Island, where his love interest resided. Hence, Hila ki Tapana translates to "glancing towards Tapana," adding a romantic allure to this picturesque spot.
