Clearance
This is a Port of Entry.
See the main Tokelau Formalities page for details of clearance.
Docking
The whole of the reef around the lagoon is exposed at low tide.
It is possible to anchor off the more sheltered NW side of the lagoon in about 20 meters, but the seas generally break with some violence against the reef.
