Power Adapters for Tonga
It’s a packing essential: a travel adapter for Tonga. Taking amazing photos of Tonga’s islands, bragging about your whale swim on Facebook, or perhaps charging your laptop for work all rely on having the right travel adapter for Tonga.
Tonga uses a Type 1 outlet, the same as New Zealand, Australia and China. The electrical current in Tonga is 240 v AC 50 Hz. If you have any electronic items that use 110 v, you’ll either have a 110/240 v switch on the item or you will need a travel adapter with a voltage converter. We go through a few good travel adapters for Tonga in the list below. Otherwise, if you want to dive deeper into the electricity of Tonga, see A Guide to Electricity in Tonga.
1. The Only Travel Adapter You’ll Ever Need
So that you never have to look at articles like this ever again, choose this universal travel adapter for over 150 countries! It has two USB ports and an MFC socket (i.e. so you can insert any type of plug), giving you multiple options for the devices that you actually need to charge – and you can do it simultaneously. What’s more, it’s available in different colours so you can make your travel adapter choice personalised. Note that this travel adapter doesn’t convert voltage.

2. BESTEK Adapter + Converter Multi-Plug
An essential for travellers from the Americas, this power adapter for Tonga is not only an adapter but also a converter. This device converts electrical devices that usually use 110 v 60 Hz to Tonga’s 240 v 50 Hz, which is essential to avoid electrical fires and protect your devices from burning out. Because Americans might run into this electrical issue around the world, we recommend a universal adapter/converter, like the BESTEK Travel Adapter which has four different types of socket outputs.

3. OREI USB-to-Tonga Adapter
Not only does this cheerfully colourful travel adaptor for Tonga have a US input for our American friends, but it also has two USB inputs! These compact travel adapters with three inputs mean that you can make the most of the usually limited power outlets available in most accommodations in Tonga. We also like that they have a grounded connection and surge protection. Note that this one also doesn’t convert voltage.

4. 3-Pack Tiny Travel Adapter

However, there is no voltage converter so be sure to check which devices you use with it. Check out more family tips in the 20 Essential Tips for Travelling to Tonga With Children.
