This is not a bustling metropolis and not all restaurants are open all the time; bookings are encouraged.
Don’t expect retail therapy, malls or cinemas. Swanson, the sole supermarket, and smaller stores in Alofi and some villages stock groceries, clothing, footwear and hardware. Most shops are open from 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday, and Saturdays 7am-7pm.
Alofi’s makete runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with fresh produce,
live uga and fresh fish along with street food, traditionally prepared and cooked umu-style, and handicrafts.
