Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Fares to major destinations like the capital, Nuku'alofa, are generally fixed. It is advisable to confirm the price with the driver before starting your journey, which typically takes 30-40 minutes to the city center.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including local agencies and international brands like Avis, have counters inside the airport's arrivals hall. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak season. A temporary Tongan visitor's driving license is required and can usually be obtained through the rental agency.

Public Transportation

There is no scheduled public bus service directly to or from Fua'amotu International Airport. The most common and reliable alternative is to pre-arrange an airport shuttle or transfer, which is offered by most hotels, guesthouses, and resorts for their guests.

A pretty place. Pretty frustrating too, as everything happens at snail's pace.
