Christianity Landing Site

The Christianity Landing Site on Fongolua Beach in Ha’atafu, commemorating the arrival of Christianity in Tonga, is marked by a plaque in memory of pioneering missionaries Rev. John Thomas and Rev. John Hutchinson. This historical site is just a short distance south of the Abel Tasman Landing Site and features a bilingual plaque in English and Tongan, telling the story of the missionaries' arrival over 180 years ago.
