  • Royal tombs (Mala'ekula)

    Pass by on the church walk: five minutes at the fence of the royal burial ground; view from the road, do not enter.

    usually quiet · about 15 min · free · Royal Palace grounds & Centenary Chapel

  • Houma cliff path

    Add it if you are at the blowholes with energy: a rough 30-minute walk along the top of the cliff; keep well back from the edge.

    moderate · about 45 min · free · Houma & the blowholes coast

  • Faua jetty and harbour

    Go late afternoon on a weekday: fishing boats coming in, the fish sellers and a low sun over the harbour; take a taxi home.

    moderate · about 45 min · free · Faua waterfront & Fasi
