Day
1: We start the tour kayaking over to Namua
island, a little beautiful offshore island. A guided walk around
the island (1 hour) is offered for those who want to see the wild
eastern side of the island. We have our lunch at the little resort on
the island where we also spend the night. We paddle to the uninhabited
Fanuatapu island, climb the mountain (15 minutes walk) to watch the
bird life and the sea turtles swimming outside the island. We paddle
back to Namua island,
outside the reef or in the lagoon depending on weather conditions and
clients fitness/experience. Back on Namua
island we relax and enjoy the dinner cooked by our host family. If
you want a cold beer (recommended) we can arrange that for you. We
spend the night at Namua Beach Fales.
