   Swim with Humpback Whales in Vava'u, Tonga!!!
Whale watching and snorkeling with whales among the beautiful islands Tonga. . . . .

The magnificent South Pacific Humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Tonga from late July to late October each year, to mate and give birth to their calves. The 8,500 km journey to and from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic takes approximately 6 or 7 weeks.
Tonga is one of only 3 locations in the world where it is legal to swim with whales or snorkel with whales. Due to its location and geography, this amazing experience can be managed so it is safe for both humans and animals.
Our 'swim with whales' tours are 3-day, 7-day and 9-days includes accommodation, boat trips with the whales, education about whales, guidance in the water with trained & experienced guides, meals and airport transfers.

"As I slowly swam along her brilliant white side I saw that her eye was open, I hung there and looked at her. She seemed so peaceful and knowing, with 100 million years of wisdom within her. Something very profound happens when you look into the eye of a whale - and your life is never the same again."
Rae Gill

Testimonials . . . .
Over the past 8 years, over 500 whale enthusiast's from around the world have experienced our unique eco-tours to swim with the South Pacific humpback whales in Vava'u, Tonga during the the breeding season, July - October each year.
Many have been back a second and even third time, and again this year we have several of our past guests joining us and the humpback whales again. So we must be doing it right!
Most of our guests are 'independent' travellers, so we cater for this in a 'group' situation.
