A uniquely private island with 4 traditional Tongan fales, located in Tonga's Vava'u island group.
Welcome...
Mounu Island Resort in Vava’u is the world's best kept secret. Soft, white, sandy beaches surround the 6.5 acre private island. This purpose-built eco resort was designed to reduce impact on the environment by Allan and Lyn Bowe in 1996.
Mounu is nestled in the Vava’u Group of Islands, an hours flight north of the capital Nuku’alofa in the Kingdom of Tonga. Or a 90-minute flight from Nadi in Fiji.
Allan & Lyn Bowe
Allan Bowe first set foot in Tonga in 1992 and was drawn to the islands for their untouched beauty and promise of adventure. He found himself in awe of the environment and the huge humpback whales that migrate every year to the Tongan warm waters. He had the courage and inspiration to jump in the water with the whales, so beginning a relationship he wanted to share with the world. He established the first Swim with the Whales business in 1993.
What started as wonder with these gentle giants grew into a deep passion for sharing their magic with the world.
