Tonga Discovery Travel Catalog:
Swim and dive with the planet's most mysterious and
magical marine giants in crystal clear water. The exotic location
of the Kingdom Of Tonga will offer snorkelers and divers
the most exhilarating encounters of a life time with these most
curious and captivating Humpback whales.
Each winter nature calls the humpback whales
to return with their young to visit the pristine waters of Vava'u
(part the Kindom of Tonga). You are able to encounter these behemoths
from the comfort of the luxury vessel Nai'a who visits these waters
during the height of the Humpback Whale season, July through September.
Or from a land based operation called Dolphin Pacific. Either way
the precious time you are able to spend in the water photographing
the humpback whales or just reveling in the awesome grandeur will
stay with you for the rest of your life. From the sight of the
first breach at day break to the silhouette of whales resting at
sundown you will be filled with unbridled emotion and wonder at
the magic our oceans hold for us.
While the Humpback diving is most exciting, the islands
surrounding Vava'u are filled with dramatic scenery. You must experience
Swallows' Cave and Sharkstooth Cave. Many of the dive sites
in the area are filled with swim throughs, mushroom shaped rocks
(boulders that have worn away near the bottom from the wave action
while the tops are just above the surface), and gigantic boulders
with fissures big enough for a diver. The dramatic scenery, topped
with colorful soft corals is a wide angle photographer's delight.
Night divers are rewarded with sightings of frogfish,
octopus, elegant squat lobster, unusual starfish and other small
delights!
The Vava'u group comprises over 60 picturesque little
islands, palm trees and white sand beaches. Just up the harbor a
few minutes away lies a magnificent wreck dive the "Clan McWillian"
with decks and that are covered in these wonderful flower like clumps
of soft coral. Impressive cave dives, wonderful valleys of gorgonian
fans, swim throughs, pristine hard coral reefs of all varieties,
drift diving on walls and reefs, colorful soft corals, outcrops
and a myriad of fish.
