Tapana Island
Tapana
A small island off Pangaimotu Island, surrounded by one of Vava'u's most popular sailing anchorages, with a floating restaurant nearby.
The channel between Tapana and Pangaimotu forms a calm anchorage that is often packed with sailing boats. Nearby are a floating restaurant famous for its Spanish-style dishes and a resort, making this a popular spot for yachties to go ashore for a meal. Around the island you can snorkel and stand-up paddleboard. It takes about 20 minutes by boat from Neiafu, or you can approach overland from Pangaimotu and then take a small boat across.
