Nukunamo island

Nukunamo is an uninhabited islet in Ha'apai archipelago of Tonga. In general, this is a perfect tropical getaway for those searching for total seclusion. However, the lack of shops and sun loungers can bring some inconvenience. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels in Nukunamo island. The nearest hotels are located slightly to the south in the nearby Foa Island.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Tonga International Airport (TBU). Next fly to Haʻapai-Lifuka Airport (HPA) or take a ferry to Lifuka island. Next hire a taxi to the neighbouring Foa island.

The distance between the islands of Foa and Nukunamo is just 200 meters, so you can easily cross it by kayak or by boat. It is not recommended to swim across the strait, as strong currents can move you out into the open ocean.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Tonga is a dry cool season from May to October.
