# fales in tonga?? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
ed612313 08:19 UTC 03 Apr 2008 | Hi peoples Last year i did a trip to Western Samoa and loved it. Im intending on doing a trip this xmas/new year to Tonga. Can anyone tell me if they have the same set up as Samoa accommodation wise? ie are there cheap fales all over the place? We hired scooters and got around Samoa like that. Is this possible to do in Tonga? Can you hire scooters at all? and if so can the be transported by boat to the surrounding islands? Thanks in advance Ed |

Scooters would only be of use on the main islands in each island group and transporting them between these islands is not feasible. | 2
