Exercise normal security precautions in Tokelau. Petty crime may occur, tourist facilities and basic services are extremely limited, and beaches without lifeguards can have powerful currents and riptides, and rescue services may be inconsistent. Plan carefully, confirm boat schedules and allow extra time because travel from Samoa and connections between atolls are infrequent. Consult residents about safe swimming areas, follow local warnings, wear reef shoes and ensure insurance covers planned activities.
