COACH TOURS OF TONGA

from $2155

WHY TONGA?

Lying east of Fiji and South of Samoa, Tonga is the first place in the world to see the new day. Relatively new to tourism but now easily accessible due to direct flights with Polynesian Blue from Australia, this is an ideal opportunity to explore the Kingdom of Tonga with us.

This society, steeped in tradition and ancient customs, is the last remaining Monarchy in the South Pacific, with ancestry that dates back a thousand years.

You’ll stay at the International Dateline Hotel which was originally built for the King’s Coronation. The Dateline Hotel is located on the quiet waterfront a few minutes walk from the capital Nuku’alofa.

Come and visit this very traditional and unspoilt Kingdom of Tonga in a small group. Together with your tour guide, you’ll explore the very best of what Tonga has to offer.
