See the Main Transport Section for Tonga
The island is small enough that a bike (or walking) is a good way to get around.
Flights
International flights operate direct to Nadi, Fiji one to four times a week depending on the season. (Normally closed February). Airport transfers through Ana Tevunga Taxi opposite Cafe Tropicana.
Ferries
There is a ferry service once a week. Its route is Tongatapu-Ha’apai-Vava’u and then back to Tongatapu. See tongaholiday.com for timetables.
Car Hire
If hiring a car, drivers require a Tongan license which is obtainable from the Ministry of Infrastructure which is a 5 minute walk from town. Most of the roads are sealed but take care when traveling in outer areas as these roads are not sealed. Most Tongan drivers do not have licences or know the law: drive defensively!! Available at Jetsafe Travel.
Car hire per day costs about 100TOP. Greg from Cafe Tropicana will also hire out his car for a small fee.
Taxis
There are two taxi ranks located in the area around the ANZ bank and opposite the Police station. Be aware that Taxis on Sundays may be harder to come by without an advance arrangement.
Tours around the Main Island will vary a lot depending on the distance covered, as fuel prices are very expensive.
