Important Information:

Swimming with the whales is done with snorkelling fins and a mask & snorkel, in the open ocean.
You will need a reasonable level of fitness and to be able to snorkel in the ocean using this equipment and able to climb a ladder to get back onto the boat.
Ocean conditions can range from very calm waters to swells & wind chop. Come prepared for seasickness.
You can only swim with whales in Tonga with a fully licensed operator. Tahi Tonga is fully licensed, experienced and locally owned and operated
Only 4 swimmers are permitted (under Tonga regulations) in the water at a time and must be accompanied by a qualified guide. Tahi Tonga takes a maximum of 2 swim groups per trip and uses the full 7-hours allowed to improve your opportunities.
Swimming with the whales in Tonga is regulated, and Tahi Tonga requires all guests to respect and abide by those regulations. This includes no duck diving, free diving, or approaching within 5m of a whale.
Watching and swimming with the whales is a wildlife encounter in the whales natural environment (a bit like a safari). There are no guarantee’s of what will happen and what you will get to see – every day is unique. We always recommend booking multiple days to give you a greater opportunity to truely experience the magic.
