⛴️ All inter-island routes 🎟️ Tickets delivered to your Tongatapu hotel 🚐 Optional wharf transfers

✓ Tonga's ferry schedules live on Facebook, change weekly, and sell out — we watch them, book them and deliver your tickets, so you don't have to.

⛴️ The routes we book

🏝️ Tongatapu ↔ 'Eua~2.5–3 hrs

The quickest hop in the kingdom — and one of the world's shortest international-feeling crossings. Typically early-morning departures on most weekdays.

Operators: MV Maui (fast ferry) · Tofa Ramsay Shipping (MV Vaomapa)

🌊 Tongatapu → Ha'apai~13–14 hrs

An overnight voyage, typically sailing about once a week — often departing Tongatapu in the evening and arriving at Pangai early the next morning.

Operators: Friendly Islands Shipping Agency (MV 'Otuanga'ofa) · Tofa Ramsay Shipping

⚓ Tongatapu → Vava'u~16–23 hrs

The full island-hopping voyage north, calling at Ha'apai islands along the way before arriving at Neiafu. A true Pacific adventure — cabins may be available for a fee.

Operators: Friendly Islands Shipping Agency · Tofa Ramsay Shipping

🐚 Ha'apai → Vava'u~6–9 hrs

Continue north on the same weekly sailing — perfect for island-hoppers working their way up the kingdom.

Operators: Friendly Islands Shipping Agency · Tofa Ramsay Shipping

⚠️ Honesty first: ferry days and times in Tonga are indicative only — schedules are confirmed close to sailing, shift with weather and demand, and there are no Sunday sailings. That's exactly why this service exists: we confirm the real schedule for your dates before you pay a cent for tickets.

No surprises — you approve the quote before anything is booked.

4

Tickets secured & delivered to your hotel

We buy your tickets and deliver them to your Tongatapu accommodation before you travel. Return tickets are emailed or handed over prior to departure, depending on availability.
