On the 9th of August we set of to once again to visit the Idyllic Vava’u Archipelago, which is the the northernmost group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. And WOW!!! What a great trip…. There are many reasons to visit this lovely Island of Tonga. Long expanses of golden beaches, crystal clear waters, dramatic coastal scenery and volcanic peaks and a warm lifestyle that makes the other pacific islands look hectic in comparison to the warm and welcoming nature of the Tongan people. But the Humpback Whales are the biggest draw-card and we were lucky enough to enjoy many hours of whales swims with adult and juveniles that migrate to the Tongan waters yearly to court, mate and calf.

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

WOW! What a trip. We spent 10 nights in the Vava’u Island group in the Kingdom of Tonga. We enjoyed 9 dives, sailing , bush-walking and much more. But the highlight of our trip was definitely swimming with the majestic Humpback Whales. We had several swims with mothers and there calves and were privileged to see loads of breaching and surface action. The Whales are in Tongan waters from July through to October. Join us next August for the trip of a lifetime! Enjoy the movie….
