A wonderful 3-4 hour tour of the island despite the pouring rain. - Andreanna was a very good guide and she was able to help us have a wonderful taste of her island even in the pouring rain. She gave us nice explanations of every site that she brought us to plus she answered all of our many questions about life in Tonga.

The Real McCoy - The communication from start to finish was professional and we were kept informed throughout the process. Our tour guide Paea I can not praise her enough. She asked at the start of our tour if we had any special requests and I asked about visiting a Handicraft Centre and the local Museum. She went out of her way to get permission to visit the museum which is on the grounds of the Moulton School for Boys. Paea was very attentive and very generous in her time, nothing was rushed and we felt so comfortable in her presence. We spent two nights in Tonga, toured the whole island, and learnt about Paea and her life, nothing can beat "the real McCoy". Thank you Paea for taking care of us, we have learnt so much. I would highly recommend this tour to those travelling to Tonga, this is a must, and you will not be disappointed.

An Beautiful Day - During the months before the tour, I had excellent communication with our guide Paea and her son Neil. When our cruise ship arrived, Paea was already there with a welcoming sign and an air-conditioned Toyota Voxy. It was hot and humid, so A/C was greatly appreciated. We had a very complete tour of the island. We started at Captain Cook's Landing Place and continued to Ha'amonga 'a Maui Trilithon, the gateway to the Pacific. We stopped at Tonga's Local Markets selling Tongan handicrafts, fine Tongan mats & souvenirs. We also visited the only 3 headed coconut tree you will find in the world! We also saw the "flying foxes" sleeping in the trees. We also visited the Ancient Royal Tombs of Lapaha. We stopped at Mapu'a 'a Vaea Blow Holes for a while to watch the amazing blow holes along the edges of the shoreline. We sat under some trees and enjoyed fresh pineapple and watermelon with more ice-cold water! Paea was an excellent guide and was very personable. I would highly recommend a tour with Tonga Holiday Villa.
PS We chose to skip the Anahulu Cave, a network of large limestone caverns, due to mobility issues. We went to visit the “fishing pigs” but the tide was too low.

Great Value 5 🌟 tour - Our guide and driver Saffron quickly established a good rapport with our group of 3. We told her that we were not interested in going to the Caves listed on the itinerary and going for a swim and left it up to her to add other points of interest. We were not disappointed. Our tour covered all of the island and Saffron kept up the commentary the whole way and answered all of our questions. A wonderful 5 star tour with a 5 star guide.Thankyou Saffron.

Friendly & Knowledgable driver loved the Tropical Fruits . - Francis was amazing he took us to every sights in Tonga and we felt very comfortable that he was just like a friend. Visited Tsunami Rock , Ha'amonga , Blow Holes and others, even took some time swimming at the Anahulu Cave but that was paid separately. Went around on a full island Tour and we enjoyed the watermelons that was prepared for us. Thank you Francis for taking us around Tonga , loved our Tour , love Tonga.

Informative and comprehensive - It was good. There is not a lot to do around the island but what we did see was informative and comprehensive. We did not go to the Land Bridge due to the road conditions but in all worth doing

wonderful island- strange tonga tours car - I have never seen such a dirty car. Lots of oil and grease stains inside the car. The doors could hardly be opened.
The Airconditon was more of a good ventilation.
The young lady was a good driver but very uninspired as a guide. Next time I would take another tour company- as we could see: many of them are using better cars than tonga tours.

SKIP THIS TOUR COMPANY, Expensive and nightmare van - The tour was for 4 passengers. The lady met us, and the transportation van was in terrible shape. Panel door broken on one side, missing seatbelt for middle seat, filthy inside, ripped leather, fender damage, windshield wipers that only 1 worked a bit….and the one panel door that was sort of worked, we couldn’t get to open at a couple spots. I wanted to cancel the tour right away, but she said it would be fine. My adult daughter had to sit in the trunk on a fold down lousy jump seat. Max passengers would be 5 with 2 in jump seats. She wasn’t concerned about the 4 year old not having a seat belt, that’s when adult daughter went to jump seat.
It was a very expensive tour for this mode of transportation offered, and what there is to see on this island. Many people back at the cruise ship had grabbed taxis, and went to all we did, and were charges 30.00US EACH, in lovely modern vans. 4 passengers x 30.00 is $120.00 not over $500.00
Get someone from the cruise dock. Hundreds $$ cheaper in much more reliable and comfy transportation.
Our tour guide was lovely, but the transportation and cost cancelled all that out.
