We visited New Zealand, the Kingdom of Tonga, Fiji, and New Caledonia. Of all the destinations we visited, the Kingdom of Tonga was the most fascinating one. The Kingdom of Tonga offers stunning views guaranteed to sweep you off of your feet. It also isn&#8217;t overrun by tourists unlike some of the other Pacific Islands. It&#8217;s a dreamy destination that&#8217;s perfect for those who are searching for a pure tropical wonderland.<\/p>\n<p>We visited two ports here &#8211; Nuku&#8217;alofa and Vava&#8217;u with Nuku&#8217;alofa being the most adventuresome. I&#8217;m embarrassed to admit this, but I had never heard of the Kingdom of Tonga before booking this cruise. Before I go on cruises, I like to research the ports we are visiting to prepare myself. Unfortunately, I found very limited information about the two ports. As a result, I&#8217;m writing this post to share everything you need to know about visiting Nuku&#8217;alofa so you&#8217;re well prepared. It&#8217;s a gorgeous port and I want you to have the same great experience I did.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post contains affiliate links to the products that I use and trust.

Only 36 are inhabited. The population is approximately 170,000.<\/li>\n<li>Tonga remains the South Pacific&#8217;s only kingdom and the monarchy is over 1000 years old.<\/li>\n<li>The Tongan culture is rich and authentic as it&#8217;s the only Pacific Island nation that hasn&#8217;t been colonized by a foreign power.<\/li>\n<li>Tonga is a Christian and very conservative nation. Our cruise director told us that any religion besides Christianity is illegal here. I&#8217;m not sure if that statement is entirely true or not, so you may have to verify this.<\/li>\n<li>The major languages are Tongan and English. I don&#8217;t think I met a local who didn&#8217;t speak English.<\/li>\n<li>Tonga earned the nickname the &#8220;Friendly Islands&#8221; in 1773 because of how kind and hospitable they were to Captain Cook. In my opinion, this name holds true to this day. Tongans are some of the friendliest people I&#8217;ve met in my travels.<\/li>\n<li>The currency is Pa&#8217;anga.<\/li>\n<li>Tonga has a warm and tropical climate. Therefore, you can expect it to be warm and humid no matter when you visit. The warmer months are December through April and the average temperature is around 31 degrees Celcius. However, the afternoon and evening tradewinds will cool you down. The cooler months are May through November and the average temperature is around 24 degrees Celcius.<\/li>\n<li>Tipping is not required in Tonga. Nonetheless, you should still tip if you&#8217;ve experienced great service &#8211; which I know you will.<\/li>\n<li>70% of Tongans live on the main island of Tongatapu, which is where Nuku&#8217;alofa is located.<\/li>\n<li>Forestry, agriculture, and fisheries are the main means of employment. Many crops are grown such as bananas, vanilla beans, coffee beans, sweet potatoes, cassavas, and taro.<\/li>\n<li>The literacy rate in Tonga is around 99%.<\/li>\n<li>Nuku&#8217;alofa is the capital of Tonga.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1590\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1590\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1590 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Palm-Trees-and-Farm-Nukualofa-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of palm trees and a farm in Nuku'alofa\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The landscape took my breath away in Nuku&#8217;alofa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: <a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/14-essential-tips-to-save-money-on-your-next-cruise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14 Essential Tips to Save Money on Next Your Cruise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_Tips_for_Nukualofa\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c6e93;\">Travel Tips for Nuku&#8217;alofa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your ship will dock at Vuna Wharf. The wharf is in an excellent location as it&#8217;s only a ten-minute walk into town. The Visitor Information Centre is a close walk from the wharf too. It has heaps of maps and brochures.<\/li>\n<li>After you disembark the ship and are walking to town, you&#8217;ll see plenty of taxi drivers and tour operators waiting to show you around the island. We hired a driver privately for four hours and we paid 70 USD in total. This is cheaper than the sightseeing excursion the ship offered. He asked for 130 USD and we negotiated him down to 70 USD. After speaking to several other passengers, it seemed as if 40-50 USD was typical to pay for a private tour. It&#8217;s important to negotiate what you think is a fair price. With that being said, please be mindful and don&#8217;t make an insulting offer. If you want to save even more money, share a tour with other passengers. Lastly, tour prices are quoted per person.<\/li>\n<li>The tour operators I mentioned above will not accept credit cards. However, they will accept USD, AUD, and local currency.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t expect to rent a car in Nuku&#8217;alofa. Tonga does not honor international driving permits.<\/li>\n<li>Credit cards are accepted in Nuku&#8217;alofa, but you may have a hard time finding places that accept them. Therefore, it&#8217;s wise to have USD, AUD, or local currency on you.<\/li>\n<li>There are quite a few ATMs in Nuku&#8217;alofa. We had the best luck with ANZ.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t expect to have reliable WiFi here. It&#8217;s expensive and doesn&#8217;t work very well. If you can&#8217;t afford to unplug while visiting here, Friends Cafe offers free WiFi. Reload Bar also offers free WiFi as long as you purchase a drink. The WiFi was slow here, but they accept credit cards. Speaking of bars, do not get the apple cider. It was pretty terrible. As a wannabe cider connoisseur, I feel like it&#8217;s my obligation to save my fellow cider lovers from disappointment.<\/li>\n<li>Dress conservatively when visiting Tonga. A general rule of thumb for visiting here is to dress how you would in a Muslim country. Do not show off cleavage and remember to cover your shoulders and knees. Do not walk around town in just your swim shorts or bikini &#8211; leave that for the beach only. See-through materials are also off the table. Also, Tongans swim fully clothed.<\/li>\n<li>Sunday is a day of rest for Tongans. They use this day to attend church and be with family. If you are visiting on a Sunday, do not expect anything to be open except for hospitals and a few businesses that tend to tourists.<\/li>\n<li>When sightseeing in Nuku&#8217;alofa, be sure to wave at the locals. They are incredibly friendly and they love to smile and wave back at you.<\/li>\n<li>You may be fortunate enough to visit Nufu&#8217;aloka during whale season which runs from July to October. You can actually swim\/snorkel with whales here. But, keep in mind to only use a licensed operator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"dishadiscover-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Don't Forget to Pack These for Your Trip\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"4dae186a3f91e73d33094c359b833d22\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B019TQPL4A,1786572176,B079ZHYZ7T,B07Y9TT1K8\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Do_in_Nukualofa\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c6e93;\">Things to Do in Nuku&#8217;alofa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Royal_Palace\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c6e93;\">1.

You can observe the blowholes from the main lookout point or you can walk around the area and explore. We walked a little further and weren&#8217;t surrounded by other tourists. Also, locals have booths set up to sell souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1595\" src=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Blowholes-Nukualofa-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of the blowholes in Nuku'alofa.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Captain_Cooks_Landing_Place\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c6e93;\">6.

It was built at the beginning of the 13th century and is believed to have been made by the god, Maui. It has the resemblance of Stonehenge.

Unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t see any.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Relax_on_the_Beach\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c6e93;\">12.
