TOUR DETAILS:

This advanced tour is designed for those looking for a more demanding paddle and require individuals to have an adventurous spirit and above-level physical fitness. We pick you up and shuttle you to the Eastern tip of Tongatapu where our tour begins with breakfast on the beach at Whitehouse Point (End of Talafoʻou Beach, Eastern Tongatapu). As you enjoy your breakfast, we do a brief overview of our fun itinerary for the day, discuss safety, answer any questions and prepare the kayaks for launch. We then set off on a 1 ½ hour paddle through beautiful crystal clear waters inhabited by sea turtles, dolphins and humpback whales. After crossing over the reef shelf, we arrive at the uninhabited island of Monūafe where you can enjoy exploring while having a beverage break. Monūafe is a tiny uninhabited island with a white sand beach that you can walk around in 5 minutes. We then paddle for 1 ½ hours over to Pangaimotu Island Resort where we have lunch at their waterfront restaurant. After lunch there is ample time to snorkel next to the shipwreck, explore the island, or simply relax in this beautiful unspoilt setting. After spending 2 hours on Pangaimotu Island, we end our day with a final 30 minute paddle back to our landing spot in Papiloa (Nukuʻalofa) where you are then returned back to your accommodation.
