Introduction
Tonga's outer islands are ablaze with authentic appeal and pristine beauty.
The Ha'apai island group is unhurried, uncrowded and undiscovered. The 62 scattered islands, atolls, reefs and shoals reveal volcanic islands warmed by trade winds.
After Captain James Cook received a warm welcome on the Ha'apai island of Lifuka, he dubbed Tonga ‘the friendly islands' and more than 200 years later visitors can expect much of the same.
The Vava'u Island group is Tonga's adventure hub, with the 61 islands dotted with shimmering lagoons, coral reefs and deserted beaches offering whale watching, fishing, diving, snorkeling, sailing, remote sea caves and history-laden shipwrecks.
Eua Island's lush rainforest covered hills are a treasure of breathtaking beauty and rugged landscapes, perfect for those in search of adventure and eco bliss.
