Swimming with humpback whales

Snorkel

Tonga is one of the few places in the world where you can legally and ethically swim with humpback whales. These majestic giants come to the warm, sheltered waters of the Vava'u island group to mate and give birth. It is a snorkel-only, life-changing experience.

Features

Not a scuba destination for this activity. The main attraction is swimming with humpback whales. Licensed operators take small groups to snorkel with mothers, calves, and male escort whales in the calm waters of the Vava'u archipelago.
