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.
