About Tongatapu
It is a coral island surrounded by coral reefs. The capital,Nuku'alofa, on the north coast, has a relaxed air, despite the troubles of a few years ago (see article onTonga). Most of the interesting places are outside Nuku’alofa but most of the places to stay are in the capital. There is a good bus network and car rental is possible.
