SWIM WITH WHALES IN TONGA
Vava'u, July-Oct

Each whale encounter is unique. Their behaviour, both above and below the surface determines our day. Whether whale watching from the boat or swimming with the whales you may see tail slapping, hear singing, marvel at their breaching or be observed yourself as they come close to investigate YOU!.

"I'm so glad we booked several days out whale swimming as they were all completely different experiences. It was such a huge and humbling experience and so much more than I'd ever imagined."
