Tonga Travel Information Introduction
Nudging the international dateline, in a time zone of its own, the Kingdom of Tonga is the first land to see the dawn of each new day.
Tonga is unique. It's an independent constitutional monarchy and the only South Pacific country never to have been colonized. Spread over 7,700 km² (3000 square miles) of shimmering turquoise South Seas, these remarkably diverse islands reflect the natural beauty of ancient Polynesia.
Nuku'alofa is the capital and home of the Royal Palace. Other major centres are Eua island, an ideal retreat for hikers, adventurers and naturalists, and Vava'u Island which has two beautiful beaches on the main island and a scenic drive around the west coast with stunning views of Port of Refuge Harbour and the numerous outer islands.
Ha'apai island is a favourite with visitors who are invited to stay in the village and participate in all aspects of village life from 'kava' ceremonies, feasting and dancing to hunting 'feke' octopus with village fishermen in outrigger canoes.
Tonga is a great stopover en route to Australia and New Zealand, travelling the Pacific or the World. It is also a fabulous one-stop vacation destination. Tonga is truly deserving of the romantic description of being the land - "where time begins".
