塔布島
最南端的塔布島是湯加最繁華的島嶼,也是湯加最大的島嶼,約占全國土地的三分之一。首都努庫阿洛法就坐落在這個島上。島上有大片大片的椰子和香蕉種植園,附近的埃瓦島上覆蓋著茂密的熱帶雨林。
幽靈島
1831年,在南太平洋湯加王國西部海域中,由於海底火山爆發而突然冒出一個小島來。然而,當人們還在談論它並有所打算時,它卻像幽靈一樣消失在洋麵上。過了幾年,當人們對它早已忘得一幹二淨時,它又像幽靈一樣從海中露了出來。1967年12月,它再一次冒出海麵,可到了1968年,它又消失得無影無蹤。
三石塔
在努庫阿洛法的郊外,有一座三石塔,據說是舊皇宮的拱門,它是古代湯加人用大型獨木舟從瓦裏斯島運來的大石頭建造的。還有一處文物,是一塊大石頭製成的“日曆”,這塊“日曆”頂端刻著一年中最長和最短一天的日期,並且有太陽升起時的標記。
噴潮洞
噴潮洞是南太平洋的獨特景觀。在湯加塔布島的南岸,每當漲潮的時候,驚濤駭浪拍向海岸,海水從成千上萬的礁石的洞穴中噴湧出來,形成幾十米高的水柱,十分壯觀。
