Whale Watching and Whale Swimming

Tonga is one of the few places in the world where you are allowed to be in the water with humpback whales. To swim with a 45 ton whale in its natural environment is surely one of the biggest thrills and greatest privileges the natural world has to offer.

And yet, with this thrill comes a responsibility, both on the part of the whale watch operator and those who use their services. The responsibility lies in the need to protect these magnificent creatures and their environment from over exploitation.

While not as deadly as the whaler's harpoon, our desire to get up close and personal has the potential to negatively impact on their natural behaviour.

At OceanBlue Adventures we believe that understanding their behaviour is the key to a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship. It is our goal to increase our understanding of their natural behaviour through passive observation and interaction, and to provide our guests with the opportunity to participate in this as part of their humpback whale experience.
