This well-kept secret tropical paradise is unspoilt, easy to get to and it is easy to slip into 'island time' - it's a little different, a little mysterious and totally rewarding - Tonga is an ideal destination for those who may have already tried other parts of the Pacific or for the more adventurous first-time travellers.

Laura is the Small Guide resident 'expert' for Tonga - not only has she experienced the resorts but also found time for whale watching, horse riding and scuba diving.
