Situated 250 miles to the southeast of Neopia Central, Mystery Island is a tropical isle whose exotic foods
and adventurous safaris have made it a perennial favourite of tourists. In fact, as a means of promoting tourism, the one
totem fee for ferry rides to the island was recently waived. Now, ferry rides from Neopia Central to Mystery Island are free
to all.
 Approximately 65 miles in diameter, most of Mystery Island's population is situated within Cannibal Village, home
to the Tribe of Pango. Among the island's treasure of beautiful beaches, the most popular is gorgeous Omara Bay, which
lies along Mystery Island's northeast shore. Despite attempts by Neopian real estate developers to establish resorts on Mystery
Island, so far protests by the cannibals of the Tribe of Pango have generally quelled such efforts. As the Island Mystic puts
it, "A great place to visit is Mystery Island, but for you to live here we wouldn't want."
Tiku Taku Island - Situated just off the coast of mainland Mystery Island, Tiku Taku Island is a shrine containing
three monuments dedicated to the god Tiku Taku. According to legend, Tiku Taku was a great warrior whose bravery once
saved the inhabitants of Mystery Island from certain doom. Each year, during the first week of the month of Hunting, Tiku
Taku's bravery is celebrated, as natives of Mystery Island make the 2.3 mile swim to Tiku Taku Island and leave a rare item
as an offering to their god.
Omara Bay - See the many faces of Mystery Island for only 50np! Many a visitor has fallen in love with the white
sand and arching waves of beautiful Omara Bay. Sporting a steady stream of majestic four to six foot waves, each year Omara
Bay plays host to a number of surfing contests. In addition to its phenomenal surfing conditions, Omara Bay is home to a number
of rare plant and animal species, making it an ideal locale for snorkeling. Why not take a tour?
In addition to the Tribe of Pango, Mystery Island is also home to a substantial population of Kougras. Despite the
fearsome appearance of their sharp claws and teeth, Kougras are generally even tempered and kind. It is even believed by some
that Kougras can bring their owners good luck. However, if angered Kougras have been known to be ferocious and tireless combatants.
