‘Ene’io Botanical Garden.
Tu’anekivale village
on the east coast of the main island.

The garden aims to promote the survival of native and exotic species and also to provide a sanctuary for bird life. Conservation successes include tree ferns, sandalwood species, bamboos and breadfruit species. You can leave a permanent memory by planting your own tree. There is also a Visitors’ Center where you can see tapa and other artefacts being made and sample the traditional drink of kava. Lunch is provided if booked in advance on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On Thursday evening there is a Tonga Feast.
