Fishing with locals,ask for excursions to nearby islands,explore the nature,enjoy beaches,join to Sunday feast(traditional natural Tongan food prepared in underground oven) The space Small outer island with a small village where you can experience natural local small island life-style. Pristine sandy beaches all around with sand-walk to nearby uninhabited island with sandy beach. Crystal clear water. Guest access all the island, beaches around, forest. Other things to note Important update about TRANSFER TO ISLAND. It was to BE PAID ADDITIONALLY by rate (TOP)$100 Tongan pa'anga cash for the motor-boat fuel, maintenance cost, driver,etc. This is the request of village mayor. Return price included. Now they rise that cost to 200 Pa'anga and I have to organize and pay them in advance that's why I'm adding this fee here as "cleaning fee" but actually that's not cleaning fee that's cost of transportation by water. Unless you can get to Taunga yourself (house host on Taunga will be more than happy for that (less headache organizing boat trips). JUST ASK how many days you want to stay and I'll answer with the special offer for you then you may accept it to book. Ask your questions before booking. I will answer your questions and I will give you specific details. I'm personally not staying on Taunga island but the host (house owner) is staying there, she is a native local islander and she is very hospitable person and a good friend of mine. You may bring your own food to cook yourself in the kitchen there, or on outside open fire/underground oven. Or you may order to host to cook a lunch and/or dinner for you in a traditional native Tongan way (including underground oven) -but that consumes time and requires her to buy additional food so it's for extra charge. $50 TOP cash per meal (breakfast and/or lunch and/or dinner) per person, and have to be notified in advance as it requires to supply additional food from the mainland to Taunga island. If you like fishing also you may join the host when she is going fishing.

Additionally, guests have appreciated the proximity of the island to Vava'u. However, some have pointed out that breakfast is not provided, which may be a consideration for some potential renters.
