Tonga is often called the place where time begins due to its position right next to the International Date Line, but it's more often called the place where time stands still because of its easy going island lifestyle. But visitors to Tonga won’t have a moment to stand still because this small island kingdom has adventures waiting on every coast line and just beyond every horizon.

Snorkelling and diving off the white sand coastlines in the deep blue clear waters is only the beginning in Tonga where water adventurers can swim with the whales. Tonga has some of the best whale watching in the world with cruises, and beach spots all promising a glimpse of the incredible sea creature. Sea kayaking, fishing and surfing also make for a great day at the beach in Tonga and if travellers can manage to part with the coast line for just a bit, there’s the South Pacific’s Stonehenge and pyramid tombs to explore in Tongatapu.
