Boscawen Island
Tafahi is a small island in the north of the Tonga archipelago, in fact closer to Savaiʻi than to the main islands of Tonga. It is only 9 km north-northeast away from Niuatoputapu, and fishermen commute in small outboard motorboats almost daily between the two.| Tap on a place to explore it |
