    More than just a few stones left behind - storytelling wizards can keep their history alive

    Similar to UK's Stonehenge. Took a quick tour of the island to one of suggested places to visit.

    On a P&O cruise, this island is the capital and while it's still recovering from a cyclone and a tsunami, the people are friendly, helpful and generous. The monument isn't overwhelming but considering how and when it was made impressed me. Be aware that this is a traditional island and don't expect our western norms. There's quite a bit of poverty and your help by spending money there is very welcome.

    It's a couple of rocks... The story about them is interesting, still it's a couple of rocks.

    Cool piece of Tongan history, a coral Stonehenge!

    Tourism Tonga should clean the board that explains the land marks because it’s hard to read, no point of the tourist coming to visit if they don’t understand what they are looking at. I do see that it’s kept very clean and more and more of the area is exposed with new land marks being shown so there’s potential for a site tour and money to be made for the locals as well.

    It's really great to see a bit of Tongan history. The area is really well looked after, and the walk to the sea is good.

    Beautiful site almost everything looks cared for, tourism departments efforts towards maintenance seem questionable. As respect to our ancestors, some effort to the small things go a long way.

    One of the few landmarks in Tongatapu which was cared for, and no trash littered everywhere.

    If you have a car, and are doing a tour of the island, Trilithon is a nice quick stop.

    This was free to visit. It is an ancient monument erected from coral stone in Tongatapu around 1200AD. You can go straight up to the stone and touch it. You can pose for photos underneath the arch. Surrounding the monument is a grass field. When we visited, there were vendors in the carpark selling jewelery and other trinkets, but otherwise this is not a touristy place. Further back there is another monument, the Leaning Rock
