Diving
Tonga boasts 176 islands, roughly the same number of marine species divers encounter in their first hour exploring the Kingdom’s coral reefs, caves and crystal clear waters. A slight exaggeration maybe, but with sea turtles, manta rays, tuna, marlin and wahoo combining with even bigger creatures like whale sharks, Tonga is a destination that presents underwater thrills on a truly grand scale. Ships that have floundered over the decades on Tonga’s sometimes dangerous reefs sit in unpolluted waters with crystalline visibility up to 30 metres. Equally dramatic are the underwater landscapes waiting to be explored, experienced and photographed. Pristine coral gardens shimmer amid the ebb and flow of tropical currents, while labyrinthine coral reefs are studded with swim-throughs, caves and arches. Tonga’s volcanic past, present and future are showcased with underwater tunnels, ancient lava tubes and massive drop-offs down dramatic 25-metre cliffs. For divers, Tonga is a diverse and complex destination where every dive and every day can be remarkably different. Look forward to exploring some of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on the planet, and from June to November underwater exploration often comes with the living, breathing soundtrack of murmuring whalesong from courting humpback whales. With water temperatures ranging from 23ºC to 29ºC, migrating pods of humpbacks are annual visitors escaping the frigid waters of the Antarctic. It’s a climate-defying strategy that’s equally valid for intrepid human visitors from other parts of our planet.

“The main island of Tongatapu is blessed with a protected lagoon ideal for sea kayaking. One of the most amazing experiences I had in Tonga was exploring the many islands in the lagoon by sea kayak. You can explore deserted islands and sand spits, drop anchor along the way and explore some amazing coral reefs. Ensure to pack a machete and enjoy a coconut on your very own deserted beach!”
– Robert Hayes, Canberra, Australia.
What people say
My friend and I visited Tonga during August 2009. The friendly, generous people and their traditional way of life….so different to the rushed, stressed, modern world…. the markets, the scenery, the beaches, the shops, and the slower way of life, all contributed to a completely unique holiday. Traffic is leisurely and contributed to the overall feeling of relaxation, and we quickly got used to not having to rush around. Anyone wanting to unwind and find some peace only has to visit beautiful Tonga.
– Mrs Jill Coburn, Melbourne, Australia.
What people say
“I love coming to Tonga as the last unspoiled ocean marine paradise on earth which is noncommercial and stays true to its traditional way of life. In Tonga you can still see joyful people, big extended Polynesian families who still live mostly on what the land and sea can produce. The variety of corals and reef fish are very impressive and you can enjoy it almost alone. Tonga is an unforgettable place that brings joy and happiness to anyone fortunate enough to visit.”
– Ken Khachaturyan, Uruguay, South America.
