With its rich rugby culture and laid back lifestyle, the Kingdom of Tonga is a really fascinating place to stop on the way home from a tour to New Zealand.
Situated just east of the international date-line, Tonga is an eclectic country where ancient traditions sit alongside the latest offerings of modern life.
The Kingdom is made up of 170 plus islands, with tiny forested islets calling your name left and right. The Ha’apai Group offers deserted white beaches, vibrant reefs and only a smattering of other tourists. For all the fun in the water that you could reasonably be expected to handle, the Vava’u Group and Eua are the activity holiday destinations of Tonga, with sea kayaking, fishing, surfing and diving available.
Rugby is the national sport and the strength of the national side is well known. Combine a stop in Tonga with a match against a local school and enjoy the hospitality laid on by this nation known as the ‘Friendly Islands’.

Each of our team members has gained valuable experience at respected companies. Joanna at Gullivers for 8 years, Carrie with Bundu Bashers in South Africa for 10 years and then Edwin Doran for 3 yrs and John has been organising music tours overseas for the last 22 years. As a keen sportsman himself, our MD Patrick Arnold is actively involved in the schools department and loves to get involved at all levels of organisation and implementation.
Over the years we have built up long lasting relationships with our hosts and ground agents overseas. Their ability to arrange access to top class venues and meet ex-internationals, arrange competitive fixtures, organise musical concerts and provide the all-important local knowledge, makes them invaluable to the touring process. Their support, when faced with the unexpected, also gives you peace of mind knowing that you will be well looked after throughout the tour.
With each tour that we create, new ideas and experiences are added. We can include anything you like – from a basic weekend away through to elephant polo in front of the Taj Mahal. The service you receive from Living With The Lions is bespoke and tailored to your team. You chose your own tour merchandise, sightseeing experiences, music repertoire and standard of opponent. We ensure it all gels together and that every detail has been thought through.
