Tonga is beautiful all year round.

Tonga enjoys a tropical climate.

Average temperatures in Tonga are 80 °F or 27 °C. The average sea temperatures are also are 80 °F or 27 °C

Humpback whales swim and give birth to their calf’s between July and November. Tonga is one of only three counties in the world where you are allowed to legally swim with whales.

First and foremost is a smile. The Polynesian people are the friendliest in the world. The most important items to remember are your travel documents and passports. Ensure that your passport is up to date and will not expire whilst on your vacation in paradise. Customs and Immigration need you to have return flight tickets booked after your wonderful stay in Tonga.

Remember that storage onboard yachts is limited. It is not easy to store large hard suitcases.

You will probably spend more time in your swimsuit, shorts and T-shirts with flip-flops. Shoes are not worn on the boat and being barefoot just adds to the island style feeling. A light sweater and cover-up are recommended if the nights get a little cooler. Hats or baseball caps help keep the sun off your face.

We recommend casual and comfortable attire on board, but something special for dinner ashore or a little dancing.

Please bring only non-spray sunscreen as it often stains towels and decks orange because of the ingredients. “Reef friendly” sunscreen is preferred, as it does not affect the ocean reefs. Sunglasses help with glare and good eye-care from the strong sun.

Motion sickness is not common on catamarans. If you are prone to motion sickness, bring wristbands, ear pads or Dramamine tablets.

Your camera should definitely be on your list. You will want to share your great memories later on social media or print the photos later to show everyone what a great vacation you had. If you have an underwater camera or video, bring that as well as you may just get to take a few stunning underwater photos of the beautiful creatures of the reef.

• The great explorer Captain James Cook called Tonga ‘The Friendly Islands’, while the Tongan people are the friendliest in the world please remember a few cultural guides.
• While you are in a town or village, wear modest clothing that covers the shoulders and knees and not showing off cleavage.
• Wearing all black means, you are in mourning and it is considered disrespectful by the Tongans to wear this color if you are not grieving.
• Dress in a conservative bathing suit if swimming on public beaches and never go topless.
• Men also should not take their shirts off in a public place. Tongan law prohibits any person from appearing in a public place without a shirt.
• You can wear whatever you wish aboard ALIZÉ or if staying in a resort.
