Joyce and I have just started making arrangements for a Tonga trip (Ha'apai for preference) in July with the Friendly Islands Kayak Company, www.islandnet.com/kayaktonga/ , email kayaktonga_at_kalianet.to . They claim to be the "sole licensed sea kayak operator in the Vava'u and Ha'apai archipelagos", so unless they will rent you a kayak you might be out of luck. You might also find that even if they do freedom rentals, they will not hire out to a solo paddler, so you might need that friend or make your wish list come true! Good luck anyway, Allan Singleton Hamilton NZ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
