I booked a tour with 8 water days. I enjoyed every day of it.
The long journey to the remote island and the price was totally worth it. It was a beautiful experience. Nadia did a great job with all of the organization and the accommodation Mystic Sands was beautiful.

Nadia did a great job on organizing…
Nadia did a great job on organizing this tour and the boat staff-these guys were absolutely amazing at their jobs. I love that the whales’ safety and well-being are completely respected by this company and their staff. They truly love the whales as much as we do! Can’t control the weather but we had a few rough days at sea. Mystic Sands was vey clean and we were well cared for-food was amazing and Mosi is like a second mother to all. Nice location, rooms basic but just fine, comfy bed and hot shower!

Magical, Surreal!
This experience, wow! I loved the Mystic Sands resort, I felt very safe and clean in this space. The showers were lovely, perfect kitchenette, decent sized rooms for 2 people to share, and plenty to do for relaxing on a beach. While waiting in search of whales, it may get cold or hot, tired and uncomfortable on the boat at times,but as soon as you see that blow spout, the adrenaline kicks in and you're ready to jump right in the beautiful blue waters! You don't need to be Michael Phelps to do this activity, but being quick to get in & out of the boat, and prepared to swim in some choppy strong waves. There is no "bad day" out with the whales, even if the encounter are quick or minimal, you'll still sometimes get a beautiful breeching whale show! I enjoyed going out to town as groups at times to try the different food& culture. Perfect balance between our little Mystic getaway and outdoor life. I'd love to be back! Once I save up again lol. Thanks Nadia & boat crew for everything, Ma Lo apito.

AMAZING!
Most unique trip of my life. I went in mid September and we got a bit of everything. Had whales everyday. We had a nice mix of heat runs, mama and calf (resting and moving), mama and calf with escort, and was 2 feet from an active baby! Nadia was amazing and kept everything very well organized. Exactly what I expected and more. I would go again!

Great experience from start to finish
Great experience from start to finish. Nadia and the team were extremely helpful answering my questions during the booking process and the trip itself was incredible! Everything was smooth and easy. The boat crew were phenomenal, hotel staff were great, location of Flying Annie was perfect, and the list goes on and on. I’ll def be back again next year!

Fantastic day
What a fantastic, once in a lifetime experience. Great and experienced guide and skipper that found us whales all day. The boat was spacious, clean and well maintained. No hesitation in recommending Humpback Swim, big thank you to Nadia and the crew.

Humpback Swims in Tonga are the BEST!
The team at Humpback Swims are phenomenal and the best tour operator you can use in Tonga to fulfill lifelong dreams of being in the water with humpback whales. We have been using them for more than 4 years and will continue to because they look out for all our clients and supply details other operators do not. From trip insurance suggestions, fabulous lunches, accommodation needs, as well as birthday celebrations, they can cater to any individual or group needs. Their specialty is packaging humpback whale life experiences and thinking of every detail. Every day is different on the water when you go out to look for humpback whales as you never can predict what the ocean will give to you, but Humpback Swims is consistent with their commitment to excellence and cares deeply about all of their guests experiences.
