A vacation in Tonga is most likely something your neighbors haven’t done. It is one of the most unspoiled Pacific island destinations. It’s also one of the most scenic ones, offering dramatic volcanic landscapes, magnificent tropical rainforests, fascinating coral reefs, and unique flora and fauna. And with many alluring sandy beach resorts, Tonga is a perfect vacation destination.

The Kingdom of Tonga consists of 176 islands scattered over 700,000 square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean. It is the first Pacific nation to greet the new day.

Tongatapu, the main island, is home to the Tonga’s King, government, and the majority of the Tongan population. Most travelers who come to Tonga will arrive via Nuku’alofa, the capital of the Kingdom.

Your Tonga vacation is not complete without feasting on Tongan food. Tongan feasts are legendary and feature large amounts of food and a variety of dishes, including some popular Tonga’s specialties, such as ota ika (raw fish marinated in lemon and coconut cream).

For those, looking for a little bit more action, Vava’u is the place to go. Vava’u is known as one of the world’s great centres of sailing and is also regarded as a scenic paradise for water sports, such as diving, snorkeling, surfing, fishing, and whale watching. You can even swim with the amazing humpback whales for a truly unforgettable Tongan experience .
