Tonga: Activities & Tours

Tonga is a sleepy Kingdom and doesn’t burst with tourist activities. It’s the ideal country for switching off and relaxing without feeling as though you’ve missed something important. You can tick off the sights on the main island of Tongatapu after two or three excursions. It’s a good idea to spend the rest of your stay on one of the offshore islands or on Ha’apai or Vava’u in the north.

Beaches
The only beaches worth mentioning on Tongatapu are: Oholei beach in the east, the small bays of Keleti Beach in the south and Ha’atafu beach in the west, which is also popular for surfers. The nicer beaches are on the offshore islands Fafa, Atata and Pangaimotu.
The Tongan Beach Resort in Vava’u and the Sandy Beach Resort in Ha’apai both have beautiful beaches right on their doorstep and a lot of the islands in Vava’u have picture postcard beaches.

Yachties will find paradise in the northern group of Vava’u. The area is easy to navigate and there are countless anchorages in picturesque bays and secluded beaches. International yacht charter companies have their bases in Neiafu.

Diving fans can go island hopping, because there are professional dive companies on both Ha’apai and Vava’u. There are organised kayak tours in both island groups.
