With nothing really planned when I visited the main island of Tonga, Tongatapu, I found Fatai Kayak Adventures. The operators Tim and Vila guided my tour out to the crystal clear waters where we visited a couple of the outer islands. Breakfast and Lunch were included and the paddle out and back was pleasant and not strenuous. I would recommend... More

Really enjoyed this day of paddling around the lagoon. Tim and Vila were both hospitable and very engaging and the pace of the day was pleasantly relaxed with the emphasis on fun. Taking the bus to Holonga was easy and an experience in itself. Would have been a good idea to take a dry change of shorts for the bus... More

We did this tour with our 8 and 12 year old kids and they loved it. Was one of the high lights of our trip to Tonga. Paddling wasnt to difficult, only one fairly long distance and two shorter ones. Plenty of rest time in between and lots of great information from our guides about the area and history etc... More

I had a fantastic day kayaking on the Island Hop adventure tour with Tim from Fatai Kayaks. After being picked up from my accomodation we had breakfast on the beach before heading out across the lagoon. There were plenty of cold drinks provided and lunch on Pangaimotu was lovely and included in the price. The kayaking itself wasn't too strenuous... More

We spent one of our first full days in Tonga on the "Island Hop Adventure" with Tim and Vila from Fatai Kayak Adventures. The whole experience was simply awesome. By the end of the day we felt like we had a new family. Every little detail was perfect - they'd thought of everything. We were given chilled water for each... More

My and my husband did the full day Island Hop Adventure Tour with Tim and Vila at Fatai Kayaking on the main island of Tonga. It was a fabulous day... one of the real highlights of our whole trip to Tonga. Whilst tourism seems new and sometimes a little bit hit and miss in Tonga (that is half its charm)... More

Paddling and island hopping amongst the coral atolls off Tongatapu is an experience not to be missed. Vila and Tim provide a wonderfully friendly, flexible and professional service with gear suited to paddlers of all experiences and the local area. Take a camera, snorkel and some sun protection gear, go early and spend as much time as you have on... More

I had a great day kayaking with Vila and Tim from Fatai Kayak Adventures. I was picked up up from my hotel and had a wide choice for breakfast on the beach before setting off on the paddle. We visited two of the small islands on the north side of Tongataupu in about seven hours (I think about two hours... More

We loved kayaking with Fatai Kayaks. We only rented kayaks for a few hours, but the owners were very helpful in giving us tips about where to paddle. When a member of our group fell in the water, one of the owners caught our mishap and came out to rescue us. I would definitely recommend this and do it again.... More
