A small hidden gem in the South Pacific
A birthing and mating place for Humpback whales. The close and gentle encounters with these majestic animals are a unique experience.
The Kingdom of Tonga is a hidden gem in the South Pacific, a lush group of islands surrounded by thriving tropical reefs and clear blue water. Between August and October, Humpback whales come to the archipelago of Tonga to give birth and mate. This spectacle of epic proportions gives photographers the chance to observe Humpback whale behaviour in their natural environment.
Humpback whales are curious creatures and underwater encounters are often quite close and unique. For anyone passionate about whales, this is a must-see event that can be life-changing for many people.
The crystal clear waters of Tonga are the perfect place for snorkelers to swim with humpback whales, nurturing mothers teaching their calves how to be whales.
