It's our 11th Anniversary! Join our Celebration & Swim with the Whales in Vava'u, Tonga!!!

Imagine swimming with whales among the beautiful tropical islands of Vava'u Tonga. . . . .

ALL our tours are based out on beautiful tropical islands in the humpback whale nursery!!
(NOT IN THE TOWN OF NEIAFU!!)

There are just 3 locations in the world where you can swim with humpback whales and what better place than the beautiful untouched paradise islands of Vava'u Tonga.
The South Pacific humpback whales migrate from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic to the warm northern islands of Tonga each year to mate and give birth. They stay in the area for about 15 weeks (early July - late October) before their 8,000km swim back to the southern oceans of Antarctica for the summer months.
During their short time in Vava'u, we have the priviledge of entering their warm ocean environment among the 50 or so, islands of the Vava'u group. Each day is different, some days we swim with mothers and their calves or an enormous pregnant female, other days we enter into the deep sapphire blue water to hear their beautiful haunting song and it's great fun observe with great excitement, the boistrous behaviour of a 'rowdy' group - a group of male humpbacks with testosterone pumping swirling around the boat. This is a great photo and video opportunity!
Each day we take a break for lunch, some days we anchor in a turquoise lagoon just off a palm-fringed paradise island with an opportunity to snorkel the coral reefs or comb the white sandy beaches and other days we may venture into the wonders of Mariners Cave or Swallows Cave. Over the days you spend with us, your senses with be gloriously assaulted with new experiences and your life will never be the same again. . . .

Our 11 years of experience in operating privately chartered tours in Tonga gives us the advantage of providing you with the best possible experience swimming with the whales in Vava'u AND we are at the ONLY tours operating in Vava'u who has all their guests staying out in the humpback whale nursery!
Come with us to experience the beauty and magic that has left so many with a new perception of themselves and others.

Remember
booking multi-day tours with the whales in advance, is the ONLY way to insure that you will have in-the-water swimming with whales encounters.
