Vava’u Blue Water Festival

The Vava'u Blue Water Festival, also known as the Regatta Festival, is one of Tonga's most popular cruise events. It was a terrific opportunity to learn more about New Zealand and meet some Kiwis from the Bay of Islands and Whangarei, thanks to the New Zealand maritime industry and the Vava'u Tourism Group. Each year, the festival begins at the end of September and lasts for a week. Yacht racing, charity auctions, displays by local schoolchildren, charity dinners, community barbecues, and something fresh and interesting each year are all part of the event.

The festival is a week-long celebration of all that is wonderful about Vava'u, as well as an opportunity to show you why Tonga's protected coral reefs and atolls, safe anchorages, and consistent marine breezes make it one of the world's best sailing destinations.

When: End of September
