Luggage and bags: Pack light.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Take a light jacket for boat trips and cool evenings. We went in Nov and the evenings were often a little cool

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: deet and pepto bismal

Miscellaneous: Take water proof sandels. I wished I had them as there is bits of sharp coral on the beaches

Mosquito Repellent and some vitamin B1

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A lot of cool, loose clothes and sunblock. The heat was incredible but the humidity was even worse. I don't think I had ever experienced such an intense combination. Luckily, the beaches are so beautiful, you'll never want to get out of the water.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Take some mosquito repellent, especially if you plan on staying on the off-shore resorts. I found that 400mg of vitamin B1 kept me bite-free even without applying repellent.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You won't want to bring more than one pair of pants. You'll mostly wear shorts. No coats here. Pack lite- you'll be glad you did.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: 1) Your Bug spray
2) Your Sun-Tan lotion
3) Your Bible (don't forget that?!)

Miscellaneous: There are a couple places to check e-mail. One is in The Reserve Bank of Tonga (in Town). They charge about T$3. per hour, great deal.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Take a sweat-shirt / jumper. In July it can get very chilly in the evening in Nuku'alofa. There was one night where I was very thankful I had a big heavy pull-over.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Take Mosquito repellent!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: It's a good idea to pack your own snorkel and flippers. If you get invited onto a yacht or go beachcombing, it is handy to have your own gear. I wasn't going to bother, but I am really glad I did now!
