Known as the “Friendly Islands”, the archipelago of Tonga is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, packing in a range of exciting activities from snorkelling coral reefs, sea kayaking around islands, discovering shipwrecks, relaxing on pristine white beaches and swimming with humpback whales!
Officially known as The Kingdom of Tonga, the country is one of the last remaining monarchies in the South Pacific and one of the only absolute monarchies in the world. Tonga boasts being the only island nations to avoid colonisation in its region after it was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1773.
Although Tonga does have beach resorts- this is a place to get off the beaten track on one of its 170 islands and soak up its isolated sandy beaches. Coming to Tonga for the cultural experience is reason enough to come at all, to meet the people of the traditional village communities and discover a laid-back lifestyle that has remained invulnerable to outside influences.
Kick-off your shoes and set your clock to “Tonga time” and join the locals in celebrating an unhurried day in one of the most beautiful settings in the world!
