Every year from July to November, the serene islands of Ha'apai provide a safe haven for one of mother nature´s most captivating creations - the majestic Humpback Whales.

Tonga is one of only a few countries in the world where it is allowed to actually swim with Humpback Whales and the tropical paradise of Ha'apai is simply the most beautiful and tranquil place to do it. We offer whale watching from most accommodations in Ha'apai including Sandy Beach Resort and Matafonua Lodge on Foa Island as well as Serenity Beaches and Captain Cooks resort on Uoleva. If you are joining us from Sandy Beach or Matafonua Lodge we offer free morning pick ups and whenever possible we will try to leave you back to the resorts on the boat at the end of the trip. However, when logisitcs do not permit this we will instead return you to our office on Lifuka at approximately 4pm and in this instance kindly ask you to arrange your own return transport in the afternoon. If you join us from Uoleva or Lifuka pick up and drop off are free of charge.

Our Humpback interactions are conducted with a very cautious approach, we adhere to all current legislation and the welfare of these gentle giants is very important to us. We are an eco-friendly operator and use environmentally friendly E-Tec engines that exceed stringent Environmental Protection Agency standards.
