In 1773, Captain Cook visited the Kingdom of Tonga (Ancient Polynesia) and forever changed what the ‘known’ world knew of the Pacific. So friendly were the Tongans that Cook revisited Tonga twice more to explore some of the 170 plus Islands scattered across more than 700,000 square miles of the world’s bluest ocean.

In the 237 years since Captain Cook’s visit, the reception travellers receive has not changed. You'll find Tongans live up to Cook’s epithet “The Friendly Islands” with their natural warmth and gentle approach to life. You'll also discover Tonga is a great place for fantastic adventures. We guarantee you won’t visit Tonga once: you'll come back again and again.
