- Lifuka, Ha'apai - The Ha'apai group in Tonga should not be missed. Although more challenging than the waters of Vava'u, one can be assured of uncrowded, pristine anchorages with great snorkelling, diving and beaches. Clearing in and out is the most straightforward of all the ports in Tonga and if one has already cleared in at Nuku'alofa or Vava'u, the process is free and takes 5 minutes. For chartlets of the approaches to Pangai harbour please see Mariner's Cafeand/or call Mariner's Cafe on VHF Ch 16 for any info.
