Ironically, Lifuka hotels are not available to book via internet. But booking systems will show you hotels on the neighboring islands of Uoleva and Foa. As for Lifuka, it has several family guesthouses with free rooms without any reservations.
How to get there [edit]
Fly to
Tonga International Airport (TBU). Next fly to
Haʻapai-Lifuka Airport (HPA).
You may also get by ferry from Nuku'alofa port of Tongatapu island to Lifuka island of Haʻapai archipelago. We don't recommend this transportation method, as it's very long and uncomfortable.
When to go [edit]
The best time for a beach holiday on the Lifuka island is a dry season from May to October.
