Overview

Tonga

If the edge of the world exists, it is here! The archipelago of the Tonga islands does not ressemble a post card, it is a post card. Putting the Islands together would form a place still hardly larger than London.

A genuine Eden of the tropics, nature of a pristine beauty and a warm and welcoming people: for two centuries now, the Solomon Islands have been nursing the dreams of romantic souls.
