Uiha island

Uiha is an island in Ha'apai group of Tonga. It is known mainly as a place where Tongan royals were buried in the past. Now this is a low key island with good beaches, but without a tourist infrastructure to speak of. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Coordinates: -19.919681, -174.415831

Hotels [edit]

Uiha island has a small family guesthouse with few traditional fales. But it will be much better to stay on the neighboring island of Uoleva, and to visit Uihu as a daytrip destination by kayak or by boat.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Tonga International Airport (TBU). Next fly to Haʻapai-Lifuka Airport (HPA) or take a ferry to Lifuka island.

There is a daily boat between the islands of Lifuka and Uiha. There are also daily tours from the hotels of the neighboring Uoleva island.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in the Uiha island is a dry season from May to October.
