Captain Cook Landing
Prepare to step foot on the historic landing site of the famed British explorer, Captain James Cook. Discover the commemorative plaque, a testament to the former presence of a majestic Banyan tree that graced this hallowed ground back in 1777.
Notably, this iconic landmark holds a special place in history, having hosted a visit from Queen Elizabeth II in 1970, a poignant tribute to the island's significance as the "Friendly Islands," a title bestowed upon it by Captain Cook himself.
Engage your guide for further insights into the events that unfolded before capturing a brief yet memorable photo stop at Captain Cook's Landing.
Tonga is a magical destination, but it’s a bit different to other tourist hotspots like Fiji. Here, group tours can be tricky to run – there simply aren’t the big crowds to fill them. That means many amazing experiences don’t go ahead because we don’t get the numbers we need.
So, we’ve created “Travel Mates in Tonga”, a way to connect solo travellers, couples, and small groups who’d love to join a tour but need others to make it happen.
Here’s how it works:
- Let us know the dates you are available to tour or if you see a date already with numbers you would like to join
- Once we hit the minimum number needed – the tour goes ahead, and everyone gets a great deal!
- Your personal details stay private – no one else sees your name or info.
- Groups close 14 working days prior to the tour date – so don’t wait too long to jump in!
This is your chance to make travel magic happen, meet other like-minded travellers, and enjoy Tonga in good company.
Let’s make the tour happen – together.
