map-tongatapu things to do

My map of Tongatapu & it’s best highlights

With a few things to enjoy in Nuku’alofa, it’s outside of town that offers more to do, see, & enjoy. I caught local buses, hitchhiked, and joined friends I made on the road around the island to see some of these incredible sites. Here are the best experiences on Tongatapu if you decide to come!

A short trail from Ha’amonga’a Maui delivers some nice coastal views.
