The main island is Tongatapu and English is widely spoken by the friendly locals. All the activities here are relaxed like the island and a lot are great for nature lovers. Diving, fishing, sailing, kite boarding, snorkelling and lazing on the beach are amongst the most popular.

Divers can expect to be thrilled by a huge array of marine life such as sea turtles, manta rays, tuna, marlin and wahoo combining with even bigger creatures like whale sharks and humpback whales.

 The Volcanic origins of Tonga has created a dramatic underwater topography and divers can enjoy a range of caves, caverns, overhangs, lava tubes, drop offs and swimthroughs this volcanic activity has created.

 From June to November divers can enjoy their dives to the beautiful whalesong from the Humpback whales migrating up from the Antarctic to warmer waters to breed and calf. This is also famous for being one of the only places in the world that people are allowed in the water to swim with these magnificent creatures! You cant visit Tonga during these times and not take part in this rare once in a lifetime experience.
