Wallis Barrier Reef
The dramatic transition from the deep indigo of the Pacific to the neon turquoise of the Wallis lagoon.
Eastern Motus
The chain of small white-sand islands like Faioa and Ile Saint-Christophe along the eastern reef edge.
Mata-Utu Cathedral
The distinctive stone cathedral of the capital city visible near the shoreline as the plane turns for its final approach.

Sain Channel
The narrow, deep blue passage of water that separates Futuna from its neighbor, Alofi.
Lake Lalolalo
A striking, perfectly circular volcanic crater lake visible on the western side of Wallis during descent.
