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!

This experience was amazing, It absolutely exceeded any expectations I thought I had and the time spent in the water and interactions with the whales is now a lifetime memory, The crew were amazing, knowledgeable and experienced. The accommodation was fantastic and hosts warm and welcoming. Thank you Nadia for an awesome adventure

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

There are no words that truly communicate the joy of this experience. The entire trip is organized perfectly for you to make your experience the best it can be. Nadia works one on one with you through the entire process to ensure you have all the information you need. We stayed at Mystic Sands and it was an absolutely perfect setting. We were picked up on the jetty every morning and taken out by an amazing crew each day in search of humpbacks. During our five day tour we were incredibly fortunate to swim with groups of moving whales, a few heat runs (what a rush) and a number of mothers with a calf. Seeing a baby whale come to the surface and roll and eyeball you within almost high diving distance is an experience I’ll never forget. We also swam with a playful pod of pilot whales. If you love whales - this is the tour for you!!!!! You won’t regret it! 💕🐳💕

It’s very hard to explain just how special this experience is. You see pictures and videos but even the best ones (bbc, NatGeo, various pro’s) really can’t do it justice. There’s just an unexplainable x-factor that comes from the amazing people, culture, and in water experience that really leaves you thinking, “no matter how good I am at capturing this moment, nothing I ever do will come close to what it’s actually like. People just have to experience it for themselves.” I have done a lot of other expeditions like this (sperm whales in Dominica, sardine run in SA, dolphins in Bimini, whale sharks in Mexico, humpbacks in Australia, baited Hammers and tiger sharks in Florida, etc), and this one takes the cake. It also happens to be one of the least costly. I will add one caveat though. I legitimately believe one of the primary reasons I had such an unforgettable experience is because I booked with Nadia. Nadia is an absolute hero when it comes to Tonga. She’s got price options for everyone and seriously works tirelessly to make sure every single person on her trip leaves here speechless knowing they got way more than what they paid for. When you’re here and you see what others have for boats, crew, and housing you honestly can’t fathom why anyone would want to book with someone else. She is the best. Period.

Thank you for an amazing experience. We waited a long to get this Adventure off the bucket list. Nadia, you were terrific. The swims were great and the staff and accommodations were also great. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
