About Tonga
Comprised of over 170 islands, of which just 40 are inhabited, the Kingdom of Tonga lies nestled in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean. This beautiful island cluster is saturated with endless sun, natural beauty, and awe-inspiring vistas, guaranteeing to exceed every expectation.
Drenched in sunshine and lined with white powdery beaches, Tonga is a haven for sun worshippers and laid-back travellers seeking ultimate rejuvenation. Steeped in ancient traditions and archaic island architecture, it is an idyllic yacht charter destination. Lush rainforest and vibrant reefs allow for rugged outdoor adventures, making it perfect for those looking to escape and explore.
The main island, Tongatapu, is renowned for its romantic ambience and laid-back nature. The harbour-side capital, Nuku’alofa, offers market stalls with fresh local produce and authentic arts and crafts. The Ha’apai group, north of Tongatapu, offers fishing villages and sandy beaches.
The Vava’u group is a premier sailing destination with snorkelling, whale watching, and sheltered cruising grounds. The remote island of Niuas and the lush, jungle-covered Eua offer hiking, diving, and trekking opportunities. This Pacific playground for yacht charterers promises genuine hospitality and unforgettable experiences.
