About this site
North Shore refers to the northern coastline of Vava'u, the island group in Tonga's northern archipelago known for the sheltered waters of the Vava'u channel and its surrounding limestone islands. Diving in this part of Tonga is generally boat based, launched from Neiafu, and the region is well known for its whale season each year when humpbacks pass through offshore waters.
