- Captain Cook’s Landing Place - The renowned English navigator, Captain Cook, who explored the Pacific extensively, made his landing in Tonga at this historic site many years ago. Tonga is fortunate to have such a significant historical landmark.
- Anahulu Beach - Located just 50 meters from the entrance of Anahulu Cave, Anahulu Beach is a stunning beach situated in Haveluliku Village on the eastern coast of Tongatapu, Tonga’s main island. Approximately 22 kilometers from the capital city of Nuku’alofa, it is a favored tourist spot in Tonga.
Anahulu Beach is celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, white sandy shores, and palm trees, making it an ideal location for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation.
Overall, Anahulu Beach is a serene and picturesque destination in Tonga, offering a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
- Ancient Royal Tombs of Lapaha - This historical site is the resting place of the ancient kings of Tonga.
- Ha’amonga’a Maui Trilithon - Welcome to the Stargate of Tongatapu, an ancient sun clock and a gateway to the afterlife, akin to Stonehenge. This ancient historical site is a must-visit.
- Makatolo a Maui - These are essentially Maui’s gigantic throwing boulders or stones near Anahulu Cave in Haveluliku Village. Legend has it that Maui, irritated by the ancient Moa, gigantic chickens that woke him up in the morning, hurled these massive boulders at them to silence them.
The eastern side of Tonga is where all the historical sites are concentrated.
- Royal Palace - Constructed in 1864 for King George Tupou I, the Royal Palace, made of kauri wood, is located in the heart of Nukuʻalofa and remains the residence of the royal family. The gate is closed, and the grounds are off-limits.
- Royal Tombs - Malaʻekula, or the Royal Tombs, is located in central Nukuʻalofa in the Kingdom of Tonga. The kings of Tonga and their immediate family members (wives, husbands, children) are interred there. Those slightly more distantly related (cousins, nephews, nieces, in-laws) are buried in other chiefly cemeteries. Kings from earlier times, such as the Tuʻi Tonga dynasty, are mostly buried in the langi in Muʻa.
The main royal tombs are situated at the Mala’ekula site, which includes the tombs of the first five kings of Tonga: King George Tupou I, King George Tupou II, Queen Salote III, King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV, and King George V. Each tomb is adorned with traditional Tongan designs and symbols and is surrounded by a beautifully maintained lawn.
The gates are closed, and the grounds are off-limits as a mark of respect.
