We, along with the 2 other people on our whale tour had an extra day in Tonga and decided to visit these gardens. We got very lucky because we didn’t realize we had to book in advance, and when we arrived, he had just one person there for a tour that was about to start. Besides the gardens (which I will talk about later), the location is at the most beautiful spot on the beach with turquoise waters and a whole area you can explore and swim in. After the tour you can just hang out there for the day and have some food and drinks, and enjoy the facility. We also had lunch there which was fantastic! Fish and chips but the most amazing! And chips were soursop chips (a special) along with regular fries and plantain and taro chips. The gardens are owned and run by the most passionate man who spent his entire life building it. He loves to talk about the gardens and his life and all of it is interesting. He is well traveled and educated and his love for the gardens really showed and made us all smile and really enjoy the tour. We learned a lot about plants and he let us smell/taste some that were appropriate. We really recommend Day here and bring your snorkels if you like!

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

St Joseph's Cathedral

Reviewed By RoadTripRoger - Putnam, United States

Large, impressive facade that dominates the view of Neiafu's main street. Interior not as grand as the exterior would suggest. Nice place to pause and pray if that's your thing.

Mt Talau

Reviewed By joshf896

Amazing views from the top viewing platforms that offer different views across the below ocean. Steps are very steep heading up but thankfully the handrail softens the walk up and down. Moderate amount of fitness.

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 :)
