Lavinia Airport - Niuafo'ou

Currently, there are no air services operating from Vava'u to Niuafo’ou.

What to do on Niuafo'ou:
The unusual collapsed volcanic island of Niuafo'ou lies more than 100km north west of Niuatoputapu. There's no anchorage and strong winds make it difficult for aircraft to land – often the plane has to turn around without delivering its passengers!

Niuafo’ou’s volcano dominates the island. Four eruptions early last century (1900's) encouraged many of the islanders to leave. Today the population has dwindled to just 700.

There's a huge lake in the collapsed crater with hot springs and much of the northern coast is covered in lava fields.

No accommodation is present.
