Of the South Pacific Islands, Tonga has the least appeal to nature lovers, other than those of marine environments. The main island of Tongatapu has been mostly stripped of its native forests for family and commercial plantations. Consequently, there are a few native birds existing but those that can be seen include lorikeets and the koki parrot, as well as the endemic malau which incubates its eggs on the warm volcanic slopes of Niuafo'ou Island in the Ha'apai Group. For those who like nature and are visiting Tonga, head to 'Eua Island south of Tongatapu where native forest can be found along with nice hiking trails.

Of more interest to nature lovers is the marine environment and in particular the visiting of humpback whales during the months of July to October.
