in tonga
swim with humpback whales
17th -23rd september 2026
ever wanted to swim with whales?
absolutely magnificent
Tonga is one of the most incredible places in the world to swim with humpback whales and everyday is a completely different experience.
One day we could experience a heat run with 10 or more whales, the next we could snorkel with a resting mum and calf, the next we could have a lone male singer calling for a lover with the most beautiful song. Every encounter is always so different which is why we maximise as much time as we can with the whales. We have booked this trip in the middle of peak season, where the waters are warmer, the calves are more confident and playful and the most whales are in the area.
17TH -23RD SEPTEMBER 2026
connect with marine life on a deeper level
During September the calves are a little older so they can be more playful as-well. The whales are drawn to warmer waters and leave their feeding grounds in Antarctica to mate and birth their calves during the whale season. As their food supply is low in warmer waters, they don't feed at all after leaving Antarctica for about 6 months!
