Things to Do in Tongatapu in 2026

Portside. Hello Tonga!

A very flat Island in the south pacific which holds a stunning Royal Palace which is completely gated off to the locals and tourists.
There is a range of natural highlights when you visit Tonga and the people are beautiful, kind and friendly.
Transport is very basic (no air-con) and they lead a very simple but family orientated lifestyle.
Great rugby players are born here.

Snorkelling just off the coast of Tonga's main island, Nuku'alofa, some of these corals were so large and wide that you could swim underneath them. Amazing!

More coral and fish hidden within it, no mermaids though!
