Talihau Village

There’s not much in Talihau aside from a guesthouse, a fishing operation, a church and a beach. But it’s known in the region as one of the very first villages in Vava’u to take part in a huge soil-and-sand-conservation project—with great results—and is also noted for producing the pandanus fiber used in the local weaving of baskets, hats and ceremonial mats.
