I went in 2019 and had a blast! We swam with the whales everyday! Can’t ask for much more! The boats were great, easy to see we had the best ones out there. Quite easy to get to from LAX. No complaints.

Thank you nadia! This was the experience and trip of a lifetime! Everyday was different on the water. Just when we thought it couldn't get better, it did. The whale encounters were fantastic. Our captain and crew were top notch. They were very helpful and more importantly, very respectful of the whales. Our accommodations were lovely. A beautiful property that was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Small kitchen, with refrigerator, gas cooktop, microwave, kettle. Nice sized bathroom. Mosey, the property manager, and her family and staff were so sweet. Anything you needed, she made happen. Breakfast on the patio was always a treat. You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to go back!

Nadia and her team made sure we have the best time seeing and being in the water with the whales for some high quality swims. With mothers and calves and even with some heat runs. All in all a great experience! ***** Nice safe boats and an awesome, tasty lunch every day, fruits and coffee...all you could wish for. We highly recommend this tour with humpback swims and Nadia - best for 8 water days! to have the best chances for great sightings and swims. Looking forward to the next visit!!

Nadia and the Humpback Whales team did an exceptional job with the entire experience. From the superb response rate to questions during booking to the support throughout the whale swims. It was a little tough for me to afford the cost but it was so worth it. This experience is worth the investment. Thank you!

Nadia runs one of the most ethical, respectful, well organised tours in Vava’u. She prioritises animal well being along with her excellent team of skippers and guides, which makes for an incredibly meaningful experience. She is wholly dedicated to each and every guest and to making sure their requests are met and their questions are answered — she is present, bright and honest, qualities that are wonderfully reflected in the way her business runs. Also, the food is, in one word, sublime! I whole-heartedly recommend her!

Trip was fantastically planned and managed by Nadia. The crew of ourboat were exceptional, accomodation great and on top of all that we had the most awe inspiring encounters with Humpback Whales and babies, so surreal and other worldly. Thankyou Tonga, so remote but beautiful. Had not just a holiday but a life experience xxxxxx

We had an amazing trip. We did the 8 swim days and were glad we did because two days had limited swim opportunities. A lot of your time on the boat will be spent looking for good encounters, but once you find them, the experience is extraordinary. Be sure to pay close attention to Nadi's advice. Her assistance was great...from dinner reservations to extra equipment, Nadi is on top of everything. Also, be sure to stop on the way in from the airport and pick up bottled water as you are likely to want it, The accommodations are basic but Mosi, the property manager made up for anything that we might have missed. Mosi is awesome and deserves 6 stars. Let her cook for you a couple of times during your stay. There is a lot of variety in the boats used. Request the larger boat. Our captain and guide were excellent and made our trip a success, but the small boat was cramped, didn't have a true head, and was challenging when the conditions were rough. This is the only reason my reveiw was not 5 stars.
