Tonga Essentials

Tonga’s landscape is defined by its deep royal history and unique geological features. This selection explores the 13th-century Haʻamonga Trilithon megalith and the ancient Tuʻi Tonga burial tombs. Cultural landmarks include the Victorian-style Royal Palace and the bustling Talamahu Market. Natural highlights range from the Mapu 'a Vaea blowholes, which shoot seawater 30 meters high, to the unusual sight of pigs foraging for shellfish in the reefs at low tide.
