Safety Etiquette in Tonga

Tonga is generally safe for visitors, but you should still lock valuables away, avoid walking alone late at night in isolated areas, and be cautious around the sea because strong currents and rough surf can make beaches and boat trips dangerous. Locals are usually friendly and crime is low, yet petty theft can happen in busy spots and on outer islands, so keep an eye on bags and follow any advice from hotel staff or village hosts.
