Tonga

Tonga is situated just east of the International Date Line in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. The Kingdom of Tonga is known as the Friendly Islands. With 176 islands to explore, and only 40 inhabited islands, it is easy to imagine yourself on one of the deserted islands and become friends with the local sea life. An authentic mix of centuries-old traditions and modern culture, surrounded by azure waters and scenic settings, Tonga is famous for being the winter breeding ground of humpback whales, and the fantastic snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities.
