        Great way to learn about tonga
        Arrived on time and took us to the trip. Needed to confirm the schedule for the day as it was not communicated properly. Rest of the day ran refine and the swim in the underground pool was amazing.

        Caves were awesome
        The caves alone were worth the trip. The guide and driver were nice but not overly knowledgeable on the history and communication was a little difficult. But overall worth the money.

        a hidden gem
        We visited the caves while being on a private taxi tour. The taxi driver brought us to the caves. We were charged US$ 15 for 2 persons. I have no idea if this is normal but I think it was worth it. The entrance is a bit hard to find, but the taxi driver also guided us. It is not a large cave, but because of the mirroring in the water it was really lovely. I see now that it is possible to swim. I hope this will get forbidden quickly because it will spoil the stunning scenery. We were lucky to be just with the 3 of us in the cave. when we left, a bus lot of tourists arrived and I am sure they did not enjoy the tranquility as we did.

        Friendly tour of Tongatapu!
        Our guide and the driver were very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to get a personal tour! We were able to see and visit many sites of interest during our tour.

        Great morning out!
        Lovely personalised tour, was able to show me a couple of things that aren't normally on the tour. Loved swimming in the fresh water caves

        Beautiful Tonga
        Well organised and pick up from the cruise ship was easy. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly but didn’t spend enough time pointing out local sights whilst travelling in the bus. The stops we went to were very interesting and overall the trip was great value for money.

        A surreal experience
        My first time swimming in an underground cave! It was so quiet, clean and cool. It was interesting there were no restrictions on what you could touch as well. A fabulous experience.

        Stunning caves!
        I went with Ana at Teta Tours Tonga and I’d highly recommend them! I contacted them via Facebook and email and they were welcoming and easy to communicate with! They picked me up from my hotel and we had such a fun day. I felt like I was part of the family and had a great experience. The caves were spectacular! Margaret was the local girl who guided me through the caves and also swam with me and Ana and family. It was lovely being part of a group and enjoying the fresh water and amazing scenery. Ana knew a lot about Tonga and I loved her stories and gracious manner. She even helped me buy a traditional outfit (Kia Kia ) so that I would be wearing appropriate attire for the Tongan church service on a Sunday. (Note everything is closed on Sunday’s in Tonga for church) I would highly recommend Teta Tours and I want to come back with my family and do all tours and no work!

        Day tour around Tonga excellent and a great way to get a feel for the place
        We were staying at the Tanoa Dateline Hotel and through their in-house tour company Hibiscuss Tours, we took a $120 top per person, 5 hour guided tour around the island. The tour included Captain Cook landing, Terraced Tombs, , Village fishing pigs, Ha’amonga (Stonehenge), Natural Land bridge, Abel Tasman Landing, Flying Fox colony, Tsunami Rock, Blow holes, Three headed coconut palm tree but we didn’t go to the Anahulu Cave (didn’t want to!) which was also included. Sake was a good guide though some more history would have been welcome. Lunch was BBQ chicken bought at someone’s house and eaten on a roadside table later on. Tropical refreshments was a bottle of water. Sake did offer answers to all our questions on Island life and his commentary and thoughts were much appreciated. The van we went around in was a tad tired and dirty as were most of the sites that we visited – not his fault obviously, merely a reflection on Tongan standards

        Evening beach visit - beautiful
        We came here by private car close to sunset & didn’t want to go into the caves. The caves were closed but the caretaker said he’d charge 3 of us (Palangis) to go in but not our Tongan friend. We just went to the beach for free! Beautiful white sand, gorgeous shells & hermit crabs. Definitely a nice small beach & protected area to swim in. Stayed until after dark.

        Facilities low grade
        We are a mature couple in 60's and my wife planned to change into her swimming costume at the location but they did not have a place to change expecting her to undress inside the cave in front of other younger people already in the cave. Later after we exited we found a Ladies toilet which we should have been told about on arrival as my wife never got to use the swimming pool. The mens toilet had no door and was very dirty. I still went in changing in the cave but feeling uncomfortable. Then on entering the swim area it was busy with lots of local teenagers so only stayed near the pool entry as the teenagers were diving off the stalagmites into the pool. I would have like to swim around but felt intimidated by the teenager activity and unwelcome for invading their local space so left disappointed. This could have been an excellent memorable positive experience for us if the staff had been attentive and settled the local teenagers down (who probably use this for free). I informed our driver and guide of the situation to help them improve for future visitors but doubt anything will change.

        Honest personnel
        It was too deep and dark, so I quit entering, but it looked interesting. I was charged $15 local money and when they noticed I did not enter, they returned the money. VERY HONEST PEOPLE!

        Wow - Stunning swimming spot
        what a hidden gem this spot is. the cave is amazing with all the stalactites and stalagmites and at the final bend you can go down and get int he water. So cool and clear and beautiful. you can also jump off the rocks bordering the entry too. lots of fun!
