Another Tongan culture, customs, and etiquette that you must bear in mind is Sunday Etiquette. Tonga observes a day of rest on Sunday, a day during which it is forbidden to do business, engage in physical activity, or perform the majority of household tasks. The result is that most of the nation closes on Sundays, with the exception of vital establishments like bakeries and hospitals, as well as extremely specific tourist attractions like resorts, including their restaurants and activities. Because of this, some of Tongatapu's outer island resorts offer extra day tours to their property on Sundays.

Note that it is not permitted to go swimming, kayaking, doing laundry, running, etc. if you are not staying in a resort or are not in a tourist area. This is one of the most important things in Tongan culture, customs, and etiquette that you must bear in mind. You should prepare in advance because you won't be able to go to the supermarket to buy food as a result. Sundays are the only days of the week without any public transportation.
