Destinations Visited in Our Tonga Itineraries for 14 Days
Tonga is an island nation made up of 169 islands. Let us break things down to the main destinations and island groups that you will visit in these Tonga itineraries for 2 weeks.
Tongatapu
Tongatapu is often described as the “main island” of Tonga and is the arrival island of most tourists through Fua’amotu International Airport. On Tongatapu’s western beaches, you’ll find a string of resorts and beachfront accommodations, such as at Kanokupolu. You’ll also find the capital of Tonga, Nuku’alofa. Find out more about these destinations in The Complete Guide to Tongatapu and The Complete Guide to Nuku’alofa.
‘Eua
‘Eua is an island 45km (28 miles) southeast of Tongatapu and is Tonga’s oldest island. It is one of Tonga’s more “rugged” islands with weathered land formations split by a scattering of beaches. The island is a must for nature lovers, being home to the ‘Eua National Park. Find out more about ‘Eua in The Complete Guide to ‘Eua.
Ha’apai
Ha’apai is the central island group of Tonga, made up of 62 islands – 45 of which are uninhabited. It’s where you’ll find white sand beaches leading into tranquil lagoons and islands of swaying palm trees. Ha’apai is relatively undeveloped but still has a good selection of eco-friendly resorts and guest houses. Learn more in The Complete Guide to Ha’apai.
Vava’u
Vava’u is the second-most northern island group of Tonga and home to Tonga’s second-largest town, Neiafu. The main island is connected to a selection of islands via causeways, while the rest of the 50+ islands of the group are compactly scattered across the archipelago. Learn more about Vava’u in The Complete Guide to Vava’u.
Another island group of Tonga is The Niuas, three islands far-flung in the northern reaches of Tonga. Due to infrequent flights and ferries, getting to this island group on a 2-week trip is virtually impossible.
