Tonga Vava'u

Escorted by: Cindi LaRaia

SWIM WITH THE GENTLE GIANTS OF TONGA!

6 full days of whale snorkel encounters

USD $2970.00 per person twin sharing, land & whale swim only (flights extra). Breakfast and dinners included, packed lunches on whale days. Maximum of 6 snorkelers.

Swim with the planet's most mysterious and magical marine giants among remote and pristine coral atolls and reefs. The whales’ journey every year to the exotic Kingdom of Tonga to bring guests the close whale encounters of a lifetime. Join Cindi LaRaia as we journey to Tonga’s curious and captivating family of humpback whales.

Every year from July to October departing November they complete their migration from the cold feeding waters south of New Zealand and Australia, to the warmer tropical waters of Tonga where they give birth to calves and perform courtship readying themselves for the next season.

Watching the Humpback Whales is a treat everyone should see, both above and below the surface they aim to please with wonderful displays of activity. Breaching, spy hopping and fin slapping are a few of the behaviors regularly encountered on the surface of the water. The most heart warming though, are the underwater views of mother’s resting with their calf, taking a well-earned break while still keeping an eye on her restless and playful calf.

The sheltered waters of Vava’u offer plenty of hideaways for the young calves as they begin to learn the behaviors that the Humpback Whales are known for. Escorts eager to gain courtship during the season will often accompany the mothers, keeping out of the way and generally at a slight distance, but still keeping a watchful eye out for that certain signal.

Throughout July to November the waters surrounding Vava’u are filled with music as the Humpback Whales sing their hearts out. Laying on the surface of the water your body absorbs the vibrations and captivates your whole being into their song.
