Underwhelming tour

3.00We didn’t do some of the items listed? The tour guide didn’t know what our tour was to include? The van was in rough shape but I can understand because we are on an island. The tour guide tried to redeem for what she missed by adding the world famous blowholes.
Friendly Nuku'alofa

5.00Our first time in Nuku'alofa, arrived on Pacific Adventure. We were met at the port with a clearly marked sign for our group and a VERY warm welcome. We enjoyed the various stops along the way to the cave, the fruit refreshment,Coconut and the friendly hospitality of Teta Tours. Thank you for a lovely day.
