Mount Talau
Moʻunga Talau
A flat-topped hill beside Neiafu. From the summit you can see the whole sheltered harbour and the Vava'u island group, making it the classic viewpoint of Vava'u.
Mount Talau rises to about 131 m and lies within Mount Talau National Park. From the western side of Neiafu it's a walk to the foot of the hill, then 20–30 minutes up the steps. The route is straightforward. From the top you can look down on the winding waterways of the harbour and the scattered islands to the south, and the sunset views are best. Legend says this flat-topped hill is a summit that was stolen from elsewhere. Admission is free; bring water and sunscreen.
