You could look into doing the SEA Semester Program. While there is no guarantee that Hunga Tonga would be included, according to NASA, one of their ships, the SSV Robert C. Seamans, was among the ships to visit the island in October, 2018.

Private yacht.
COO of my previous company would sail from NZ to Fiji and back. Often people like this enjoy the company of another person on the boat.
So either…get your own yacht, train and learn how to sail..
or, charter one from Tonga, for a fee, presumably
or, on websites like findacrew.net, see if someone else might be interested in a similar trip, and you could share the cost in exchange for you say, cooking on the boat.
Hurry tho, estimates are that it may only be around for 7-30 years.
Could also try posting on a subreddit like this person did on /r/sailing, although it doesn’t look like they had much luck.
