- 3 Headed Coconut - This unique 3 Headed Coconut can only be found in Tonga.
- Mapu’a ‘a Vaea Blowholes - The majestic blowholes along the rugged coast at the village of Houma offer a continuous display of the sea’s power. Four miles of coastal blowholes force the might of the Pacific Ocean through natural rock fissures, creating water spouts up to 30 meters high.
- Tsunami Rock - This 10-meter high boulder, located 200 meters from the coast, was brought here by a massive tsunami estimated to be up to 35 meters high. Its size and shape make it a fascinating site to visit.
- Kolovai - The flying fox sanctuary in the village of Kolovai is home to hundreds of fruit bats, considered sacred and a delicacy for the Royal Family. These bats hang from rows of ironwood pines along the main village road.
- Abel Tasman Landing Site - Located at the northern tip of Tongatapu island, this site features an information sign and a plaque commemorating the Dutch explorer’s first encounter with the island on January 21, 1643.
- Captain Cook’s Landing Place - In 1777, Captain Cook visited and came ashore to meet Pau, the Tui Tonga (the Sacred King of Tonga), during the ‘Inasi’ (presentation of the first fruits).
- Ancient Royal Tombs of Lapaha - These large, rectangular earthen burial mounds of the Tui Tonga Dynasty have terraced sides faced with cut limestone slabs. Traditionally, they were the burial places of the Tongan ruling class.
- Ha’amonga’a Maui Trilithon - This Stonehenge-like structure, located in the village of Niutoua, was built in the 13th century by the Tui Tonga (Sacred King of Tonga) Tuitatui in honor of his two children.
- Niutoua - Maka Fa’akinanga: Located approximately 100 meters from the Ha’amonga ‘a Maui, this large stone slab stands upright with markings resembling a head, shoulders, and back. Oral stories suggest that Tu’i Tu’itatui (the eleventh Tu’i Tonga) often sat against it and struck out with a staff to keep people at a safe distance.
- Makatolo a Maui - These are Maui’s gigantic throwing boulders, located near Anahulu Cave in Haveluliku Village. Legend says Maui threw these boulders at giant chickens to keep them quiet.

Perfect private island tour to all places of interest and more! - I visited Tonga and had one day to make an island tour. I don't like groups so booked a private tour with Teta to all places of interest of the island. I had a few specific places to stop too which was no problem to add. Lovely guide Ana well explained everything in good English. Highly recommended from a world traveller!
