Toamana’s tour of the eastern side of the island includes a tour of the village of Lakepa. The tour departs from the Information Centre in Alofi at 8:30am and Matavai Resort at 8:45am and travels south through the villages of Avatele, Vaiea, Hakupu, Liku and Lakepa. The tour drives through Huvalu Forest, said to be one of the largest rain forests of any raised coral atoll. At Lakepa, you will be hosted by Mary and Kupa for an hour or so as they show you a little of their village, including their restored primary school as well as the skills of husking a drinking coconut. You will be given an opportunity to taste some typical local snacks of coconut and pawpaw and whatever else is in season. Throughout the tour your local Niuean guide will provide you with information on island life ranging from its history, to the people, the language and culture. The return journey will be through the middle of the island and back to the main village and Matavai. Allow 4 hours for the duration.
