Tonga is one of the few places in the world
where it is possible to have the unique experience of swimming with
humpback whales. These whales come to the Vava'u Island Group
each year from July to October. The whales leave the open ocean
to give birth to their calves in the warm and protected tranquil
waters of Vava'u. Eueiki Island is situated on one of the
two main channels where the whales enter the island group. Swim
With Whales and Whale Watching Tour-Eueiki Island is ideally
situated in the center of this whale nursery. You can take a tour
from the island on our traditional 37ft outrigger Tofua'a
Moana. Taken from the Polynesian design, this outrigger has been
built on the Eueiki Island by the owner, Mark Belvedere, and fitted
with an e-tech engine, which is the forerunner in quiet non-polluting
technology. The Tofua'a Moana (Ocean Whale) is an environmentally
friendly vessel, moving quickly and smoothly to provide you with
the most comfortable and non-obtrusive approach to the whales. Late
this whale season we will be whale watching with our large double
hull sailing canoe. Contact us for special rates and packages!
A full day whale watch and whale swim tour costs $220 TOP per person (approx $120 USD), children under 12 are half price. We do provide snorkel gear, but for your comfort we suggest you bring your own.
