It Can Be Super Affordable if You Want it to be

What is the cost of traveling to Tonga? Everyone, from the budget backpacker to the family of four, has their own travel style and demands. Tonga is not a high-end luxury destination, but it does offer certain once-in-a-lifetime events that will most likely cost more money while in the country. Food, lodging, and transportation may all be incredibly inexpensive if you want them to be, but there is always the option to spend a bit.

Food, lodging, and transportation are all quite reasonable, so you can rest on your trip budget. Guesthouses, which are largely managed by locals, provide a variety of accommodations starting at roughly TOP$20 for a dorm to around $120 for a separate room. Pick up affordable products from local markets for self-catering, or dine at one of Tonga's Top Cheap Eats. To get about, take the bus for TOP$1, a cab for TOP$20, or take the ferry from Tongatapu to Vava'u for roughly TOP$80!
