Haʻano Island
Haʻano
A quiet island north of Foa, with four villages scattered among the coconut palms, almost empty beaches, and a chance to experience traditional island life.
Haʻano lies north of Foa, separated from it by a short channel. The island has four traditional villages known for their handwoven mats and bark cloth. The white sand beaches and shallow reefs around the island see almost no visitors. You can cycle or walk around the island, and from the shore you may spot whales during whale-watching season. Reach it from the northern tip of Foa or by boat from Pangai, and some families can arrange homestays. There are no shops or restaurants on the island, so bring your own food and water.
