How to get there

The Kingdom of Tonga consists of an archipelago of 176 islands, scattered across an area of the central Pacific Ocean to the east of Fiji. The present territorial boundary covers some 360,700 sq km of ocean so getting around can be difficult. Of the 176 islands only 36 islands are inhabited and the greatest number of people living on the main island groups of Tongatapu and 'Eua in the south, Ha'apai in the middle, Vava'u in the north and much further north again to Niuatoputapu and Niuafo'ou.
