'Euakafa Island
ʻEuakafa
An uninhabited island in the south of the group with white-sand beaches, coral snorkelling spots and the stone tomb of the ancient Tongan queen Talafaiva.
'Euakafa Island is often a stop on island-hopping trips and sailing routes. A path leads from the beach through tropical forest to higher ground in the centre of the island, where you can see the legendary tomb of Queen Talafaiva, a stone-built platform, and look out over the surrounding waters. The coral reef off the beach is good for snorkelling. There are no facilities on the island, so bring your own drinking water and food. Please respect the historic site and do not climb on the tomb platform.
