JUNE 29th - JULY 6th -- Aio Wira goes Troppo in Vava'u, Tonga
From the bush to the beach! ........... Want to experience the Aio Wira Magic in a tropical, tranquil setting on a secluded island? Join us on our third, week-long blissfully relaxing retreat in a beautiful lagoon setting. This rejuvenating retreat is held at one of the world's best-kept secrets on the outer island of Hunga, Vava'u - Ika Lahi Lodge.
The journey starts with a flight to the main island of Tongatapu in the Kingdom of Tonga and then a one-hour scenic flight up to the island of Vava'u. On arrival at Vava'u airport you will be met by your Ika Lahi hosts - Caroline and Steve - who will whisk you away to the island of Hunga by boat. A refreshing swim in the clear sparkling lagoon waters and a feast of tropical fruits awaits you.
Indulge in daily yoga and meditation sessions, massages / body work (not included in package price), relaxation time, swimming, kayaking and snorkelling in our safe private protected lagoon.
The food is based on a healthy, cleansing, organic diet with most foods grown at the lodge. Being a cleansing diet means we start gently, enjoying only smoothies and tropical fruits for a few days then as the week goes on we incorporate salads and vegetables into the diet. In the last 2 days we enjoy freshly caught fish (optional), soups, salads and grains.
Take the opportunity to wander through typical Tongan plantations to the local village, where life is still lived in a traditional way. There you can experience mat weaving, watch your drinking coconut being picked from the tree, traditional singing and dancing and more!

-- Quality twin share accommodation with ensuite
