Tonga is a country made of over 170 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. The immaculate natural beauty, pristine beaches, and comfortable tropical climate make it a popular tourist spot. Apart from spending some time relaxing on the beaches, you can enjoy diving and snorkeling to discover rich underwater life at Swallows Cave and Japanese Coral Gardens. For land activities, hike ʻEua National Park and discover breathtaking scenic views of the region. If you happen to visit Tonga between June and October, book a trip to catch a glimpse of the migrating humpback whales. Ha'amonga ‘a Maui Trilithon, St Joseph’s Cathedral, and Tonga Royal Palace are some other popular places to visit.
