A group of 8 girls we went to Atata Island from Tongatapu Island on April 4th 2013. Beautiful scenery and people. 25mins boat ride from the main island. Atata is a gorgeous small island that caters to a relaxing and picturesque day. We managed to get the day trip deal which included transport from the mainland, complimentary drink, Island buffet...
