The Kingdom of Tonga, spread out over an archipelago of 176
islands, claims to be 'the place where time begins' given it is
first to see the sunrise every day of the year. But it could also
be the place where time stands still, for this unique Pacific
nation proudly boasts a culture where ancient traditions are
treasured.
The Tongan people whilst powerful in stature can appear
inherently shy in nature. And this may have something to do with a
way of life that shuns modern accessories for the simple pleasures
in everyday life. Whether you pass through the Capital of
Nuku'alofa, or the hinterland villages on Vava'u, you will observe
women weaving traditional 'tapa' matts or creating hats from
colourful flax and flowers.
In Tonga, you will be drawn to the sea. Here, the sailing
is unrivalled, the crystal-clear waters perfect for diving and the
deep sea fishing has a World famous reputation. And whale-watching
is fast becoming a reason to visit in itself, the locals believing
they are guardians for the giants of the sea.
