Ha'atafu Beach

Reviewed By GandPHart - Auckland, New Zealand

Ha'atafu is only about 20 odd kilometers from Nukualofa but can take around 30/40 minutes to get there - not because of the roads as they are actually pretty good for the islands, but just due to the speed limits and a lot of cars going at just 30-40km all the time -hey island time! The beach is great, the sand deep (actually hard to walk on it's so deep) and the snorkelling safe and easy. We don't surf but there was quite a lot of guys surfing here just off the reef too so obviously popular for that. And when you are done just pop next door to the Hideaway for a great burger and a beer - awesome!

Mapu'a 'a Vaea Blowholes

Reviewed By MarsingIdaho - Marsing, United States

It was fun driving out to the Blowholes. Besides the Blowholes, you got to see some agriculture as well as some very nice homes.

Ha'amonga'a Maui Trilithon

This mysterious 11th-century stone arch weighs about 12 tons and is made up of three large slabs.

Reviewed By mjayb88 - Invercargill, New Zealand

I was taken here by my tour guide and marveled at the structure for some time. My tour guide had excellent knowledge of the history of the stones. Great piece of history. Its almost like Tonga's version of the stone henge.

Talamahu Markets

Reviewed By lakzs - Parramatta, Australia

As a Tongan from overseas, its always good to see the local handicrafts on the bottom level. Before buying anything be sure to go up the ramp to the top level. theres waaaay more local handicrafts and souvenirs that are possibly cheaper than on the bottom level. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BARGAIN :)
