Tonga

Tonga is a Polynesian country located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is an archipelago consisting of 169 islands, of which 36 are inhabited. The country is located south of Samoa and east of Fiji, and it is made up of three main island groups: Tongatapu, Ha’apai, and Vava’u.

Tonga does not share land borders with any other countries due to its island nature. The closest countries to Tonga are Fiji to the west, Niue to the east, and Samoa to the north.

The total length of the road network in Tonga is approximately 680 kilometers (422 miles), with around 80% of the roads being unpaved. The main roads on Tongatapu and Vava’u are mostly sealed and paved, while roads on the Ha’apai group are mostly gravel and dirt roads.

In Tonga, there are plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, and hiking, especially on the larger islands of Tongatapu and Vava’u. Many of the hiking trails on these islands offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape and coastline. Visitors can also explore the beautiful beaches and coral reefs, as well as the traditional villages and cultural sites.
