Deep
in the South Pacific, mountain tops rise from iridescent waters
in a cluster of 170 islands that were settled at least 500
years before the birth of Christ.
Tonga
These
islands are the Kingdom of Tonga. Fewer than 40 of the islands are
inhabited now and the populations number is under 100,000.
The
Kingdom of Tonga remains far from it all, still different, still along,
and to the joy of those who find their way to her - essentially unspoiled.
CLIMATE
is pleasant and slightly cooler than that of most tropical
areas. Average temperature is 24 degrees Celsius.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Most Nationalities
require a Passport valid for 6 months from Arrival.
CURRENCY The Tongan Dollar or
pa’anga. Major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, and
restaurants.
