Let's discuss transportation in Fiji and Tonga. I'm envisioning myself on a beach, but first, I need to get there!
"Get to the beach," you say? Seriously though, Fiji and Tonga are paradises, but how convenient is getting around?
Fiji has an international airport in Nadi, crucial for tourism.
Nadi's a hub, but what about reaching a secluded resort? Bumpy roads and unreliable taxis?
Fiji has buses, but they operate on "Fiji time," not ideal for tight schedules.
"Fiji time"—unreliable! Domestic flights are an option, but pricier.
What about Tonga?
Tonga's main airport is near Nuku'alofa. Smaller than Nadi, but functional.
"Functional"—not exactly glowing praise. What about internal transport? More island time?
Buses are available, but don't expect Swiss punctuality.
Renting a car?
Possible in both, but roads aren't always perfect. Potholes are common.
Potholes! Off-roading skills recommended. Ferries are another option?
Ferries are scenic but add significant travel time.
A tight connection and a ferry could be a disaster. Always factor in extra time.
Fiji has a more developed infrastructure due to tourism; Tonga is more laid-back. Fair assessment?
Yes. Fiji caters more to tourists; Tonga has a more relaxed vibe.
If you're visiting either, pack patience and extra sunscreen for those ferry rides.
