Take water proof sandels

by easterntrekker

Pack light. Take a light jacket for boat trips and cool evenings. We went in Nov and the evenings were often a little cool deet and pepto bismal 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

by Sduarte

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. 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.

Packing List

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. 1) Your Bug spray2) Your Sun-Tan lotion3) Your Bible (don't forget that?!) 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.

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. Take Mosquito repellent! 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!
