Hunga Lagoon
Hunga
A nearly enclosed lagoon surrounded by Hunga Island in western Vava'u, with a narrow entrance and glassy water. It is a secret anchorage for sailors.
Hunga Island is ring-shaped, with an almost enclosed lagoon inside. It has only one narrow entrance, which can be navigated at the right tide by a boat piloted by someone who knows the channel. Inside, the water is calm and a vivid green, and the island has a village and a few eco-cabins. There are snorkelling spots on the outer reefs. Most people reach it by sailing boat or charter boat; it takes about one hour from Neiafu.
