Yes that's right you can swim with the Whales!
In Vava'u, Tonga we not only have the privilege of Watching whales in the wild above the
water, but we have the unique opportunity to observe the whales in the water!!
Imagine sharing the same space with a Humpback whale as she gracefully moves
through the water, seemingly oblivious of your presence - it is one of the most
phenomenal and most incredible experiences you will ever have. To watch as a
calf comes up for a breath and look directly at you leaves you speechless.
To have the privilege of observing whales in the wild above and below the water
is absolutely mind blowing!!
For you to get the most out of your experience in the water with Humpback whales, the
skipper on board Maris King will have to take into account the behavior of the whales,
your confidence in using a snorkel and mask and also on the conditions of the water,
before you enter the water. All these precautions are taken to allow for you to have both
a safe and memorable experience with whales in the wild.
Your Guide will accompany you in the water to swim with the whales.
Things to observe when in the water with Whales
- Please consider the whales - remember we are in their back yard
- When entering the water don't jump in, just slide in quietly
- Don't make sudden advances towards the whales
- Don't dive down to them, instead remain calm and on the surface
- If the Whales decide to move away don't attempt to follow them, instead return to the boat
- For your safety and the consideration of the Whales obey the instructions of your guide at all times
