Mount Talau is just outside of Neiafu, the capital of Vava’u. It isn’t very high (just about 430 feet) but the 180 steps up from the parking area are killer when the temperature is 90 degrees and the humidity is 90%.
The view of Puatalefusi, or lolo ‘a Halaevalu, the Port of Refuge, is worth the climb.
It’s a “National Park” but we were the only ones there.
We were looking forward to a treat when we got back to the car. But it was about 120 degrees in the car. 😦
