Tonga Holiday Packages 2008-2009
Palm Tree Island Resort, Niuatoputapu

Niuatoputapu is probably the most remote holiday destination you'll ever visit.

Niuatoputapu is probably the most remote holiday destination you'll ever visit. Just getting there is an adventure in itself. The far flung Niuas are Tonga's least developed island group, and unrivalled for those seeking seclusion or just a simple holiday amidst some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery in the South Pacific.  Here, far from the bustle of Tongatapu and Vava'u, the visitor can enjoy a true feel of the South Pacific as it used to be. 
Niuatoputapu is surrounded by seemingly endless, mostly deserted, white sand beaches. At the eastern end of its lagoon, a maze of waterways encircle several uninhabited islets which can easily be reached by kayak, swimming, or wading across at low tide.  On Niuatoputapu itself the virtually traffic free roads and tracks are ideal for exploring by bicycle.  And, for the more energetic, the central ridge offers great hikes with panoramic views over the island and its lagoon.  After that why not stop off for a refreshing swim in the sparkling waters of Niutoua Spring?
Return airfare from Nuku'alofa to Niuatoputapu is AU$617 including pre-payable taxes and charges (as at 1 April 2008).

Nature is in abundance on Niuatoputapu; from the colourful sealife, and the whales, in season, breaching just outside the reef, to the wide diversity of birdlife; including quails darting about in the bush, and herons fishing from the beaches.
Situated on an otherwise uninhabited island just off shore from Niuatoputapu, but still within its lagoon, Palm Tree Island Resort enjoys perhaps the most delightful location of any resort in Tonga, with spectacular views across the sea to Tafahi, an extinct volcano.
 Accommodation is in four well-spaced apart fales ( bungalows ), with private facilities, each situated on the beach with a view of the volcano.  The restaurant specialises in fresh fish and locally grown organic produce.  Meals cooked in an umu ( earth oven ) can also be arranged for those wishing to taste food cooked in the traditional Tongan manner.

 

 

 

Cycles. kayaks, and snorkelling equipment are all provided by the resort, which also has a good selection of books and dvds for a quiet evening in. For those who enjoy nature, tranquility, and a friendly people, Niuatoputapu offers truly wonderful surroundings for a unique and unforgettable experience.
