INTERNAL FLIGHTS

If you intend to fly between groups from this archipelago nation, you will probably have to do so with the Royal Tonga Airline. The flights are short – one of them, from Tongatapu to 'Eua, takes just 8 minutes. They cost from €45 to €150 (both one-way), depending on the distance.

TRUCK 

Several inexpensive buses (maximum €1 tickets) run through Tongatapu without fixed schedules for the journeys. Beyond Tongatapu, public transport is available in Lifuka, island of Ha'apai and Foa, island of Vava'u. Riding a bus or minibus in Tonga is a cultural experience not to be missed.

SHIP

The islands around Togatapu are served by small boats that depart from the Queen Salote pier. Some ferries sail between islands. These are the cases of MV 'Olovah. MV Pulupaki that navigates between Nuku'alofa and Vava'u, from the MV Ikale – the fastest to connect Tongatapu to 'USA, in this case, under the operation of the company Uata Shipping Line. Of the MV 'Otu Tonga e MV 'Alaimoana, also between the capital Nuku'alofa and 'USA, operated by Tofa Shipping.

CAR RENTAL

You can rent a car, motorcycle and bicycle in Tongatapu. Please note that the maximum speed is 40km/h and believe it or not, from time to time, the police control it from the side of the road. Prices for a bike start at €10 a day, a motorcycle is between €10 and €20 and a car between €20 and €40. 

TAXI

They circulate in Tongatapu, Vava'u and Lifuka (Ha'apai), a few also in 'Eua. They are identified with the letter T on the registration number and do not work with a meter, so you must agree on the price before the trip. The Tonga Visitors Bureau can provide a table with price references for each route.
