Swallows Cave, Vava’u

Swallows Cave is located at the northwest tip of Kapa Island in Vava'u, in The Kingdom of Tonga. Swallows Cave, one of the best diving sites in Tonga, is also a great place to go scuba diving and a cool dive site in Vava'u. With its beams of light shining through the entrance and a depth of only 18 meters, Swallows Cave makes for some spectacular dive photography. Thousands of small fish, as well as a few larger fish, will create amazing patterns in the cave.

Swimming near them, murmurations of the swirling groups of the little fish act as one in soft twists and turns producing synchronized entrancing patterns moving in the water around you. Divers and snorkelers alike will be glued to the patterns until they are able to explore the cave walls' deeper depths with colorful nudes and swaying gorgonian fans. It is a popular cave to explore, and because it has a visibility of 40 meters, it is ideal for beginners.
