Extra Travel Tips

Tonga is a kingdom of over 170 islands, where tradition meets tropical beauty.

  • Mix Cash & Card –While cards are accepted in major hotels and urban centers, cash is essential for local markets, ferries, roadside stalls, and village visits—especially on outer islands where digital payments are rare.
  • Use TOP in Tonga, not AUD – Paying in local currency ensures better rates and avoids unnecessary conversion fees.
  • Watch ATM Fees – Some foreign cards incur withdrawal charges. Use post office or 7-Eleven ATMs for reliable access and better transparency.
  • Leftover Pa’anga After Your Trip? Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused Tongan Pa’anga—simple, secure, and great value.
