Hufangalupe, Natural land bridge in Tongatapu, Tonga.
The limestone arch of Hufangalupe rises 42 meters above the Pacific Ocean, featuring a massive opening created by ancient cave collapse.
The geological formation developed over centuries through marine erosion, resulting in the collapse of a sea cave roof along Tongatapu's southeastern coast.
The name Hufangalupe translates to Pigeon's Gate in Tongan language, reflecting the local connection between natural landmarks and traditional naming practices.
Access to Hufangalupe requires a 200-meter walk along a dirt path from the main road, with no safety barriers at the site.
During migration season, visitors standing atop the natural bridge can observe humpback whales swimming in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
