# tonga or samoa? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
peeandily 10:15 UTC 19 Mar 2013 | Hi I am travelling with my 14year old and wondering if I should go to tonga or samoa. I dont want her to be bored??(is that possible) but would also like to have a nice time relaxing with a few creature comforts. Can anyone recomend which island to visit or should I try one of the other south Pacific islands Thanks for your help |
Laszlo 14:54 UTC 19 Mar 2013 | A vote for Tonga - more diverse and friendlier. Having said that, your 14 yo might find Tongans a bit too uptight, and might prefer the party scene someplace like Lalomanu in Samoa. But she'd get even more of that kind of thing in Fiji, Bali or Thailand - consider those destinations if keeping her happy is a priority. They are also cheaper - the Asian ones much cheaper than the Pacific. | 1
