The trip location is on the Island of Vava’u in Tonga. Flights are not included. The trips offered start and end on Vava’u.
You can journey in however you’d like.
I find the best route is to go through Nadi in Fiji. It is a short flight operated by Fiji Airways. I always recommend staying at least a night in Fiji as a travel buffer. So factor that into the travel plans. Accommodations there can be as fancy or rustic as you’d like. Personally I like to stay at the Backpacker Hostel and can get a private room with basic facilities for USD$40 a night. You can also get a room at a nicer hotel for an average price of USD$220 per night.
Take a taxi to and from the airport for FJD$15.
Upon arrival to Vava’u I will meet you personally with a vehicle to provide transportation back to the group house.
Please contact me directly for any assistance making travel arrangements.
