Nuku'alofa Things to Do, Nuku'alofa Things to See
==========================
Biking
Tongatapu Island is very flat and ideal for exploring by bike. There are cycle rentals in Nuku'alofa and some guesthouses also provide bikes for their guests to rent.
Day Trips to Offshore Island Resorts
There are daily excursions from Nuku'alofa to the offshore islands, where you can relax on the island’s beautiful beaches, join in the daily activities then return later in the day. The islands are very close – it is only a 15 minute trip to Pangaimotu (the nearest), and less than an hour to Royal Sunset (the farthest). There are bars and restaurants available.
Diving & Game Fishing
There is superb diving in the islands north of Nuku'alofa. Two game-fishing charter companies also operate out of Nuku'alofa - Royal Sunset Fishing and Dive Tours and Blue Water Fishing Charters. The fishing grounds are off the northern coast of Tongatapu Island.
Heilala Festival
A week-long celebration coinciding with the King's Birthday in July, and featuring parades, workshops, a beauty pageant, music arts, feasting and sports competitions.
Island Tours
Several companies offer tours around the island and the Tongan National Centre also has a cultural tour and lunch (bookings essential).
Royal Palace
Surrounded by large lawns and giant Norfolk pines, Tonga's famous Royal Palace dominates the seafront. This large Victorian timber building was prefabricated in New Preparing Food the Traditional Way © Tonga Visitors BureauZealand and completed in 1882, when the upstairs verandah was added. The palace is not open to the public but there is a good view from the waterfront on the west side.
Royal Tombs
Tongan sovereigns, their wives, husbands and close relatives have been buried at the tombs at the Mala'ekula (a large park area) since 1893. It's not open to the public but there is a reasonable view from the fence.

Yellow Pier (at the end of Tupoulahi Road) is a good spot for swimming and snorkelling, with lots of small fish and the occasional ray.

Tonga’s largest fruit, vegetable and handicraft market is open everyday except Sunday, with an abundance of local foods and inexpensive handcrafts.

Fishing Pigs of Tongatapu, Tonga
On the island of Tongatapu, in the island kingdom of Tonga, you'll find a very curious sight along the coast at low tide.

This particular porker was feeding along the shore near the historical landing site of Captain Cook, just west of Nuku'alofa.

[한국어 정보]
시내 한가운데 있는 시장을 찾았다. 주로 농산물들을 사고파는 탈라마후 시장에는 낯선 채소와 먹을거리들이 가득했다. 통가 사람들은 원래 뿌리식물들을 많이 먹는다고 한다. 타로, 마니오께, 얌 같은 작물들은 ‘루’ 라는 잎채소와 함께 매일같이 밥상에 오른다. 굵은 나무처럼 생긴 ‘카페’ 라는 식물도 껍질을 벗겨 구워먹는다. 통가에는 예상했던 것보다 농산물이 훨씬 다양하고 풍부했다. 이건 뭐지? 아, 빵나무.“이걸 어떻게 먹어요?” “쪄서 먹어요.” 빵나무 열매는 통째로 쪄먹거나 가루로 과자를 만들어 먹기도 한다. 먹을거리가 사시사철 풍부해서인지 물건을 파는 사람도, 사는 사람도 느긋하기만 하다.

From the street selling food stuff whether it is also rich in four seasons, it is only the person to live comfortably.

The Awe-Inspiring Mapu a Vaea Blowholes in Tonga
Watching the constant barrage of water shooting up blowholes along the 5km stretch of coral on the south shore of the Tongan side of the island of Tongatapu. It was an awe-inspiring sight to see the water shooting 30m in the air from multiple spots at once. And the best part? I was the only tourist there.
