Humpback Whale Experience – Tonga

4.9 star rating from 313 reviews!

Join us in Tonga for a once in a lifetime Humpback Whale experience, and a seriously fun crew to share it with!

Come along on this unique trip and spend a week out on the water with Humpback Whales on the remote island of Eua, in the Kingdom of Tonga.

Throughout the week you will spend 4 full days out on the open water, snorkelling and spending time with Humpback whales along ‘Eua’s famous Humpback Highway. With only two licensed operators on the island, encounters here are more personal and relaxed than anywhere in Tonga.

It feels like we have this stretch of ocean all to ourselves!

Our trips are guided by a local Captain, a marine biologist and our very own Dan Parsons, who has extensive experience with whales, having previously worked alongside renowned marine biologist Nan Hauser on an expedition to study them, as well as working on National Geographic’s documentary series ‘Secrets of the Whales’.

Group size is limited to 5 people per trip to ensure a personal, relaxed experience.

We’ll be staying in a private beachfront cottage just metres from the ocean, with a reef to explore in your downtime. A highlight of the week is a traditional Kava & ʻUmu Feast, where we’ll share Tonga’s ceremonial drink and enjoy an underground oven-cooked meal together as a group.

This trip is open to all levels, from absolute beginners to confident snorkellers. The water around ‘Eua is beautifully calm and clear, the perfect place to spend time with these incredible giants.

One of the biggest reasons our whale trips are so special is our small group sizes. We cap each trip at just five guests, which means more time out on the water, a calmer pace, and a much more personal experience than you’ll find with bigger operators.

Most other operators run boats with eight or more guests, which means more waiting around and less time actually spent with the whales.

Our small groups mean less waiting and more time enjoying the experience, guided every step of the way by our experienced crew so you can relax and just take it all in. It’s a really fun, easygoing way to travel, whether you’re coming with mates or heading over solo, you’ll leave with a great group of new friends and memories that’ll stick with you for life.
