Join us in Vava’u, Tonga for up-close encounters with humpback whales. There is no requirement for SCUBA or freediving certifications. We will be snorkeling and freediving (optional in certain situations) with the whales. We keep groups small so you will have optimal time in the water as well as a variety of experiences. For example, you may see calves with mothers, juvenile whales, singers, males competing for mating rights as well as many other encounters.  We will spend much of our time together – eating, swimming, staying in a large house, and going out on the boat for the day.

Arrive in Vava’u. There will be transport ready to pick you up from the airport. There will be a brief orientation to the house and what you will need to prepare for the following days. After you have gotten settled in we will have dinner together.

Breakfast will be served at the house prior to departing on the boat each morning. The days are around 7 hours in length with lunch on the boat.  We have an experienced Tongan captain and crew to assist in finding the whales. Most dinners are home cooked. There may be times during the trip where we will go out for dinner together (this is included in the price). 

The rest day will always fall on the Sunday of your trip.

This is a free day. You can walk around the town, visit the local sites, swim and snorkel at a nearby beach, or rest up for the coming days.
