Islands of Tonga

"Oua lau e kafo kae lau e lava." (Stay positive and count your blessings.)

Come visit a village filled with kindness, hospitality, and laughter. In Tonga, every day is a happy occasion.

Cultural Presentations: 20-minute presentations offered throughout the day

what you’ll experience

Our presentation is a mixture of history, cultural awareness, song, dance, and participation. It allows you to morph into mighty drummers during the lively cultural performances throughout the day. You can also paddle a native-style outrigger canoe like the islanders used centuries ago, play the Tongan shuffleboard game called lafo, and test your skills throwing spears. It’s all about the details in Tonga. Want to feel what it’s like to be royal? The Queenʻs Summer House showcases the best of the best! In fact, from beautiful handmade tapa mats, to the geometric lashing of support beams in our meetinghouse, to our trees and posts draped with cheerful flowers, it's all meant to welcome you, our honored guests. 

talk to a villager

Engage with the people of Tonga whether they be adult or student because they are tied directly to Tonga by bloodline. Which means every one you meet here is Tongan.
