Vava'u Group to Samoa, Wallis & Futuna to Vanuatu Expedition
21 Nights | 1,600nm | join the crew | from AUD$10,250
Set sail on an extraordinary 21-night blue water sailing expedition across the heart of the South Pacific, linking four of the region’s most remote and captivating destinations—the Vava'u Group in Tonga, Samoa, Wallis & Futuna, and Vanuatu. This 1,600-nautical-mile journey combines offshore adventure with island-hopping exploration, offering a rare opportunity to experience traditional Polynesian and Melanesian cultures, unspoiled anchorages, and the open-ocean magic of life under sail.
Your adventure begins in the protected waters of the Vava’u archipelago, known for its humpback whales (in season), limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear anchorages. From there, we head northeast to Samoa, where dramatic volcanic peaks rise above lush rainforests and cultural heritage thrives in every village. Continuing on, we cross into French territory at Wallis & Futuna, a seldom-visited chain of islands with deep Catholic roots, secluded lagoons, and welcoming locals.
Our final leg takes us southwest to Vanuatu, arriving among its outer northern islands before concluding in Port Vila. Along the way, you’ll experience a mix of trade wind passages, celestial navigation, night sailing, and island exploration—anchoring off remote villages, snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, and connecting with cultures unchanged by time.
Ideal for adventurous sailors and curious travellers alike, this expedition offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore some of the South Pacific’s least-visited cruising grounds—under sail, and far from the beaten path.
