Quick Guide
Tonga resorts offers some of the best value and least commercial in the South Pacific. The island is very low key with just a couple of small beach resorts, several larger hotels in Nukualofa Town and a good range of guesthouses (budget and up-market) around the islands. There are four main groups of islands in Tonga - Tongatapu, in the south. Extending from Tongatapu are the Ha'apai Group and Vava'u Group. About 450km further north is the remote Niuas. Flights connect Tongatapu with the Ha'apai and Vava'u group on a regular basis, except Sundays when everything religiously closes down. Getting to the Niuas is expensive due to the distance and there are only weekly flights and less frequent cargo boats.

Tongatapu - The Main Island
Tongatapu is the main island and centre all of things Tongan. The capital, Nuku'alofa sits on a protrusion, looking north over the small motu islands surrounding the fringing reef, and south over a tranquil lagoon. The flat coral island is quite small, running about 30 km east to west and in most places less than 5km wide. The highlights are its impressive archaeological sites in the east, the south coast with its cove sandy beaches and blowholes, the stunning offshore coral atolls, several with small resorts, and the good scuba diving sites around the lagoon.

Tongatapu Accommodation


Ha'apai Islands
The Ha'apai Group, about 100km to the north, consists of over 60 islands, mostly low lying coral atolls. The region is very traditional, bans camping and only a few guesthouses and small hotels operate here. The beaches and snorkelling, together with the traditional culture, make this a great place for relaxing on the beach and immersing with the local people.


Vavau Group
Tonga's most popular tourist attraction is the myriad of limestone islands and waterways that make up the Vava'u Group. Neiafu is the administrative and tourist centre of the group, with a few small resorts and guesthouses and lots of lively bars and restaurants overlooking the picturesque harbour (sailing season May-Oct). There are few lovely beaches around the group, notably on Kenutu and Mounu, but this is not the main attraction. The Vava'u group is a fantastic sailing spot and has several yacht charter companies and lots of moorings around the bays. Neiafu has a fully serviced marina. Game fishing and scuba diving are also highly rated, and this is one of the best spots in the South Pacific for snorkelling. If you visit between July and November, there's a good chance of spotting humpback whales.
