Humpback Whales, Tonga

Swim with Humpback Whales Expeditions

2020 Dates and Bookings Below

(Please note, you do not have to be a diver to join us for this expedition.)

Imagine sharing the ocean with a 30-40ft Humpback whale as she gracefully moves through the water seemingly oblivious of your presence.  It is one of the most phenomenal and most incredible experiences you will ever have.  Ready the cameras to capture your very own footage as a calf comes up for a breath and looks directly at you – breathtaking.

Tick.  Bucket list complete.

What does ‘exclusive charter’ with ginclearfilm really mean?

  • We can depart early to be first on the water, this is a great time to get beautiful encounters with mothers and their calf without interruptions;
  • We can pick and choose our lunch location, whether it is on the move or a deserted island;
  • In essence, we have the complete freedom to do as we please.
  • Groups are now limited to a total of 6 pax (reduced from 8) to maximise whale swim time!
