Tonga Whale Watching and Snorkeling

Your private whale watching tour will transport you to the quiet coves where you’ll observe the majestic humpback whales that migrate here to give birth before returning to the South Pole. You can often see the new born young resting at the surface with their mothers. Your diving instructors and divemasters will pick the best conditions for safe approaches with a deep respect for the animals. And depending upon the conditions, you might have the lucky opportunity to snorkel near some of the whales and their young. A truly unforgettable experience.
