At 8:45 a.m. you transfer by taxi to The Adventure Centre in Toula Village, 2.5 km southeast of Neiafu for a safety briefing before departing for the first day of kayaking. Skirting rocky shorelines and coral reefs, the group paddles eastward stopping along the way for a picnic lunch on a sandy beach and snorkelling.

Hop aboard Treasure Islands's private vessel for a half-day sightseeing boat tour of the scenic Vava'u Islands and snorkelling at Mark's favourite spots. Between July and October you might be fortunate enough to see the humpback whales, which migrate from Antarctica annually to breed, give birth and nurse their newborn calves in Tonga's sheltered warm waters. Today's excursion includes opportunities to go ashore and explore one or more of the many outer islands. Arrive back at the resort in time for a nap, shower and cocktails at the beach bar.

Today, Sunday, is by Tongan law a day of rest and worship.

Our journey ends back in the Port of Refuge, reputedly the most protected and beautiful harbour in the Pacific. Observe coastal village life and waving children from your kayak. Further down the harbour, weave amongst visiting yachts in the marina. Or paddle under the causeway where only shallow draft kayaks may venture. Arriving back at base, The Adventure Centre, you transfer to your resort for a shower and farewell dinner.
