It's more like a big supermarket for local produce (vegetables, fruits, homemade cakes, root crops, kahala, local medicines, & handicrafts, etc Upstairs, u will find more local jewellery stallers, crafts, clothes and many more.

Around the main building are little shops of clothes, food, arts, western Union, sewing, clothes, etc. They have a paid parking inside. There are some small takeaway places in it. Saturday is the busiest and where u find most fresh produce. Be sure to go early in the morning. It's close at 5 PM.

    Would have loved to buy some things but NZ immigration would stop me bringing it back into the country. The stall holders just let browse, they don't annoy you. Loads of fresh produce for sale too.

    Very interesting market. Nice quality local handicrafts. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Meat and fish. Sportswear including Tonga rugby shirts. Be sure to go upstairs (in center of building).

    Standard market, some of the items that they said were carved bone looked plastic.

    Craft and produce market located in the centre of town, I'd definitely recommended checking out all the handmade tapa crafts. These are local women, handcrafting, painting and carving little (and big) crafts. There is a section upstairs which is all cheaply made shirts and trinkets from China, but I'd bypass this and head for the tapa. Haggling isn't a thing in Tonga, I'd say they probably find it disrespectful to their hard work but you can get good 'bundle' deals when you buy more than 1 or 2 of the same item.

    Love the beautiful handmade items, great art and craftsmanship! 💚 There are some fruits and vegetables which are starting to rot ( which can be bought at a discounted price or free). 🍆🍠🍎🍈🍐Some vegetables and fruits aren't ripe and most aren't washed beforehand. The market has plenty of cheap Chinese knockoff items such as "Adidas" & "Nike" backpacks, flip-flops etc (which I don't mind sometimes!) Most of the Chinese mini storefronts have cheaply made products so just be aware when buying! Otherwise, it's fun to walk around and see everything, I could easily spend an hour here looking around! 😊
