CULTURE
Beautiful beaches, turquoise waters and swaying coconut palms can be found in many places in the world, but only in Tonga can you experience the unique Tongan culture. While visiting the South Pacific’s only kingdom, it would almost be a crime to miss out on experiencing the fascinating Tongan culture.
HERITAGE SITES
Tonga has an interesting and colourful history of kings, colonisation, tribes and encounters from the other side of the world. To commemorate some of these key points in Tonga’s history, plaques and memorials can be found in historically significant places across the islands of Tongatapu and Ha’apai, while strange megaliths and ancient tombs also stand as historical places of interest.

BEACHES
Forget about everything for a while and enjoy the diversity of the Kingdom of Tonga’s 176 islands with even more beaches. Private, deserted beaches or beaches full of life – in the Kingdom of Tonga you choose what you want. There are family friendly beaches with activities for the whole family to enjoy. Or perhaps you are looking to escape just that and want to watch the sun sink into the ocean with sand between your toes and nothing but happy thoughts.
DIVE
The Tongan archipelago consists of 176 islands, roughly the same number of marine species divers encounter in their first hour exploring the Kingdom’s coral reefs, caves and crystal clear waters. With sea turtles, manta rays, tuna, marlin and wahoo combining with even bigger creatures like whale sharks, Tonga is a destination with underwater thrills on a truly grand scale.
TONGAN CUISINE
Expect to be well-fed in Tonga! Food means everything to Tongans, who put on some of the grandest feasts in the South Pacific. Even the portion sizes are staggering, giving you another level of reward after tasting some of the fresh produce of the islands and surrounding oceans. But whether you’re looking to try authentic Tongan cuisine, a new spin on international favourites, or simply grab a coffee as part of your morning routine, there are plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants in Tonga.
EVENTS
Tonga is full of ever-changing events each year, from tourism festivals to village beautification competitions to beauty pageants.
