Welcome to Outriggers in Paradise!

The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.

Explore the stunning islands of Tonga by Polynesian-style outrigger canoe.

Imagine this… gliding across crystal clear waters, amazing reefs rich in sea life just below the surface. You are paddling a Polynesian-style outrigger canoe to an uninhabited island to camp the night under the starry Tongan skies. On your way you'll probably meet some turtles, a few dolphins, watch frenzied birds feeding on unsuspecting tuna, and at the right time of year, see migrating humpback whales up close. This is Outriggers in Paradise and you're welcome to come and join us on an outrigger canoe tour like no other!

We couldn't think of a better place to invite you to experience a tropical paradise - paddle outrigger canoes by morning, explore islands and snorkel reefs during the afternoon, and enjoy local seafood and the Tongan culture by night.

Tonga is one of those places we all dream about. Countless deserted islands; the bluest lagoons you'll ever see; isolated sandy beaches; crystal clear waters flaunting thousands of stunning reefs - and the friendliest people in the world. (Captain Cook was right when he called Tonga the Friendly Islands!) The best way to really experience this paradise is on an outrigger canoe tour.

The Vava'u Group of islands is located north of the main Tongatapu Group. The flight here will have you salivating as your plane window frames one of the most amazing views in the world. When you arrive in Vava'u you will immediately forget about all the pressures back home. Time is not something you think about in Vava'u - it's almost stopped here.

Tonga is one of the few places remaining in the world where it is legal to swim with whales. If you're visiting during their migration season, you may find yourself having a close encounter with the majestic humpback whale!
