Ika Lahi provided one of the best family holidays I have experienced. Steve and Caroline are truly marvelous people that go out of their way to really make your stay as best as possible. The cuisine is just divine, fishing is miraculously unbelievable! And the staff are amazing friendly. If you decide not to fish there still are still heaps... More

While most resorts on the Vava'u islands of Tonga share tranquil beauty and white sand beaches, Ika Lahi trumps with its location at a large, calm lagoon on outlying Hunga Island. Also, although service and hospitality are great at the four resorts I visited, Caroline and Steve at Ika Lahi go an extra nautical mile. I am not a deep... More

We were traveling with our two young children (5 and 2 yrs) for the 1st time out of the U.S. to meet with their grandparents that had moved to Asia. Caroline & Steve were wonderful hosts. Caroline was so friendly and accommodating (making PB & Js any time of the day) that our 5 year old wanted to call her... More

A perfect location , great facilties, with fantastic hosts is what a holiday is all about. Safe and clean, with excellent food; Ika Lahi provides an environment to either be an adrenalin junkie with big fish or a pampered holiday seeker. Your choice but both are available at the stunning Hunga Lagoon, the site of the Ika lahi. More

Ikalahi is a holiday destination to be experienced more than once for the true beauty and tranquility to sink in. The food and accommodation we found to be first class and the service to be personal and professional, Steve and Caroline are wonderful people. If you are seeking an idylic setting of white sandy beaches, magical snorkeling right on your... More
