My review is not about how good the Private VIP tour is because we did not have a chance to take this tour due to Port lock down. We made a booking for a Private VIP tour for 8 of us who will be visiting Nuku'alofa on our South Pacific cruise on the Maasdam. The booking process was very smooth and informative. The tour company notified us in February that Tonga has closed its port to cruise ship. We (the tour company and us) hope that things will get better in March and the ship will be allowed to dock in Tonga. A few days before we were due to arrive in Tonga, the tour company notify us that our ship will not be permitted to dock in Tonga and that a refund will be given back to us for the VIP tour that we booked. The refund was processed quickly without any issue. I would definitely book with this company again in the future if we get a chance to go to Tonga. My special thanks to Sandra who kept us updated in different times. Hope the tour company can ride out the bad travel time caused by CVID-19.

We came here by private car close to sunset & didn’t want to go into the caves. The caves were closed but the caretaker said he’d charge 3 of us (Palangis) to go in but not our Tongan friend. We just went to the beach for free! Beautiful white sand, gorgeous shells & hermit crabs. Definitely a nice small beach & protected area to swim in. Stayed until after dark.

These creatures - harmless and seemingly lifeless-hang eerily from rows of ironwood pines along the main village road and are considered sacred and a delicacy to be consumed only by members of the Royal Family.

I organised a tour for our cruise ship passengers in Feb 2020. We had a group of 22 people. I found Tomasi very easy to deal with while organising the day. We had an island bus and travelled to sights on both sides of the island, finishing off at Anahulu cave for a refreshing swim, after a fresh fruit lunch. The cave is an intersting experience, you need to be careful walking down as the pathways are just cut from the rock and can be slippery, but jumping in to the water was just great. Our young local guide told us lots of stories of the customs on the island. The only disadvantage was as the local buses do not have a speaker system, sometimes those at the rear of the bus found it a little hard to hear, but from all accounts people thoroughly enjoyed the day

We were staying at the Tanoa Dateline Hotel and through their in-house tour company Hibiscuss Tours, we took a $120 top per person, 5 hour guided tour around the island. The tour included Captain Cook landing, Terraced Tombs, , Village fishing pigs, Ha’amonga (Stonehenge), Natural Land bridge, Abel Tasman Landing, Flying Fox colony, Tsunami Rock, Blow holes, Three headed coconut palm tree but we didn’t go to the Anahulu Cave (didn’t want to!) which was also included. Sake was a good guide though some more history would have been welcome. Lunch was BBQ chicken bought at someone’s house and eaten on a roadside table later on. Tropical refreshments was a bottle of water. Sake did offer answers to all our questions on Island life and his commentary and thoughts were much appreciated. The van we went around in was a tad tired and dirty as were most of the sites that we visited – not his fault obviously, merely a reflection on Tongan standards

Swim in the most amazing cathedral like cave pool, and jump into the 8m deep freshwater pool! See ancient sights that dates back to 1300AD and get amazing photos at the most most beautiful sights that Mother Nature created. Lunch included!
