This trip is aimed at those who are of an intermediate to advanced level of watersports. Most of our spots visited on the catamaran are advanced conditions either for the launch and retrieve or simply the remote nature of the spots so we are directing this more to intermediate to advanced waterpeople and their partners whether they are watersports crew or not.
Welcome to the Ha’apai group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga where you will spend the majority of your expedition. Of Ha’apai’s 62 islands, 45 are uninhabited, which allows visitors to feel that raw beauty that is uninterrupted by crowds of people. You will enjoy sailing around the picturesque islands and reefs. Everything takes place in ‘easy-listening’ mode in Tonga, so unwind and chill with your catamaran Wildlife. Uoleva Island, where you will spend half your time, has only 4 permanent inhabitants!
Fly into The Kingdom of Tonga and Kitesurf Tonga will meet you at the airport and take you and your equipment straight to the catamaran Wildlife. After a short familiarization to your cabins and safety gear, you will set sail for the Ha’apai group of Tonga. This is traditionally a 6 to 8 hour crossing and only undertaken in safe weather conditions (Please refer weather clause in Terms and Conditions) as this is an open water passage. An exciting sail to the southern islands of Ha’apai usually arriving in the early evening.
You awaken in an anchorage between two classically beached tropical islands with flat water paradise between the islands and a multitude of wave choices on the many passes in the outer reef. So wether you are looking to foil or shred waves its all here!
You stay put for two days and enjoy this area to the max! Launching sometimes directly from the boat and sometimes heading ashore for the launch.
Then sail north to a new location and spend the afternoon buzzing amongst the reefs again with a good mix of flat water or waves on the outer reefs.
You sail to Uoleva island where you are transferred to your home for the next half of your trip at Fanifo Lofa – Kitesurf Tonga resort where you will experience one of the top watersports destinations in the world.
Claim your comfy beds and unpack your bags. Here you will experience all your watersports in the one location throughout the week! You will do a downwinder one day to explore the local area. Sip on a cocktail or two and be served some amazing meals. In the evenings you can get together in our outdoor space to play darts or cards, have a few drinks and relax the night away. One night we will roast a pig and celebrate, Tongan style!
Transfer to Wildlife after breakfast and it’s a day of sailing south to the capital Nukualofa. This is an all day sail so time to chill and reflect on the expedition highs and lows and enjoy sailing Wildlife down through the sheltered barrier reef of the Ha’apai islands then the open ocean crossing to Nukualofa. Arriving early evening you anchor at Pangaimotu island and prepare Day 14. If you are keen and the conditions are good early you can either choose to have a blast around the anchorage or head into Nukualofa town to do some souvenir shopping or just a stroll around before your mid morning departure to the airport.

The fales are all beachfront and are on raised stilts to give you stunning elevated views. They are constructed entirely of timber including our beautiful exposed cedar roofs. Your accommodation will always remain comfortable no matter what the temperature is.
Kitesurfing Tonga are very remote. At the resort there are no shops, no roads, no nightlife. They grow most of their own food, and what they buy comes mostly from Nuku’alofa via the ferry once a week. They don’t have access to the varieties that are available in first world countries but don’t fret Kitesurf Tonga will make your stay as comfortable as possible and their fales are some of the most comfortable and beautiful in Tonga.

Uoleva Island has a 300m sandbar at the tip which stretches over to Lifuka. There are 2 sides to play, the leeward sea side and a massive flat water lagoon about six kilometers long on the windward side, which gives us loads of room to play. Whether your learning a cool new move or gaining knowledge on how to ride waves, the aqua water with smooth wind is going to be your best friend. You will always have the backup of knowledgeable and experienced staff to keep you safe.
