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. Euaiki Island is situated on one of the two main channels where the whales enter the island group.
Swim With Whales and Whale Watching Tour – Euaiki 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 Euaiki 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.

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.
