This is a Big Animals Expedition in collaboration with Shark Warrior Adventures.
This 12 day humpback whale expedition is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Of all whales, these gentle, playful giants are the most responsive to people. You will capture incredible images of mother and nearly-newborn humpbacks.
We choose the ideal time and place to encounter migrating humpback whales, when humpback mothers are nursing and raising newborn calves. Curious like toddlers, these two month-old calves will likely be willing to interact with you in the water.

Our expedition happens before tourist season starts and ahead of crowds. It is a family business, children of the legendary Feleti.
The Kingdom of Tonga is a utopian archipelago in the South Pacific. Blue Lagoon resort is on a private island. It is as quiet and intimate as it is picturesque and romantic.
You’ll love the unique characteristics of a South Pacific island, surrounded by sandy beaches that face a protected tranquil lagoon. Since Blue Lagoon is far removed from the busy populated main island, it is a favorite spot for migrating whales.
