All In—The Water's Fine!
p. 56 · Read in the full issue
The Swallows’ Cave, a short launch trip from Neiafu, the port of Vavau, Tonga, is a must for all tourists. A launch can be taken right inside the cathedral-like chamber 100 feet high and 200 feet in circumference. Sunshine streaming in the entrance turns the water into liquid turquoise. New Zealand Navy lads, who visited the Tongan Group last year, are shown here swimming in the cave. Their Tongan companions go in clothes and all—they soon dry out in the sunshine. —Photo by T. W.
