Here are a couple of more shots from Tonga last week. We are now back and reflecting on the various amazing things we saw.

Plenty of action every day and Darren Jew and his team did a wonderful job of looking after us.

They are up against the odds with only a 3 month season and have to pull it all together for just August through to October every year.

Infrastructure is limited but everything seems to work very well and everyone in Darren’s team shows passion and dedication to make your whale experience as good as it can possibly be from the awesome lunches, great dinners and the dedicated boat captains and guides.

So if you are looking for a very real and different experience with some of the worlds most amazing mammals, then the Tonga Hump back experience is certainly something that you can find Darren on the link here

Getting to Tonga is a bit of a mission, especially from WA and a word of caution if you are thinking about using Air NZ as their excess baggage costs are very over the top. Virgin offered pretty good rates on the way there and the experience with them was pretty good.

I have some awesome drone vision and underwater video etc, which I will put together as time permits to give a better over view of the hump back experience.

Thanks again to Darren and his team!
