Vatuu is a very remote area that is located between two of the most visited places on the island (Adara and Akrema). The community is very small with a population of roughly 200, most of which are Protestant rather than Catholic. They safeguard the local Marine Protected Areas to manage their valuable marine biodiversity. They are particularly proud of the local initiatives to protect the turtles by letting the turtles secure nesting spots (where baby turtles can be safely transferred back to the ocean). Tourists are welcome to support this local initiative and experience the island with the local community. There is no electricity in this community and water is very scarce, so it is important to be a responsible traveler when visiting this place.
