Of course since these are wild animals, swimming with whales in the sea involves a certain amount of patience, a bit of luck, but especially a good choice of operator.
We only work with operators who have consistently proved themselves and their crew to be experienced, reliable, safe, and to have a good understanding of the whales.

Swimming with humpback whales in their natural environment is an unforgettable experience. It is amazing to see how these huge animals can be so graceful when viewed underwater. The excitement of seeing a small group of whales, or perhaps a mother and calf pair, swim by or swim close (since they can very often be inquisitive), is not something to be missed!
Vava'u, Tonga is an ideal location to be able to swim with these magnificent creatures, and one of the few places in the world where it is possible. The humpback whales come here from July to October to breed and give birth in the warm and clear waters.
