Atmosphere
It's really something different here. Consistent, usually glassy (except for during cyclones that haunt around Feb) and blissfuly uncrowded. Take off deep and just pull in - you'll usually come out.
Primitive surrounds, fine cuisine, pristine beaches and relatively non-westernised culture forms the basis of the polynesian vibe that exudes from the Tongan locals.
