Explore ways to manage expenses, though options are few.
Homestay is the only available lodging for visitors.
Tokelau operates on "island time." Expect flexibility, not rigid schedules. Being prepared for delays aids your journey.
Certain arrangements are mandatory for your trip.
Carry ample Samoan Tala cash in small denominations. ATMs or card facilities are absent on the atolls.
Gain a cultural understanding of Tokelau.
Skip-the-line options or express transport are not applicable. There are no lines or crowds for experiences.
No popular crowded attractions exist. Your experience is personal and unhurried.
Ship passage and homestay pre-booking are essential. Arrange this many months in advance through the Tokelau Apia Liaison Office. Failure to book means no entry.
Ship schedules are fixed and can be unpredictable. Within an atoll, movement is by foot. Do not try to rush your visit.
