FJIncredible experience Wow, what an incredible experience! Thank you Nadia and team for one of the most amazing trips of my life. Swimming with these peaceful beautiful creatures should be on everyone’s bucket list. We had a fantastic crew who kept us safe and guided us on several amazing encounters. Highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in swimming with humpback whales.

GBGreat experience from start to finish Great experience from start to finish. Nadia and the team were extremely helpful answering my questions during the booking process and the trip itself was incredible! Everything was smooth and easy. The boat crew were phenomenal, hotel staff were great, location of Flying Annie was perfect, and the list goes on and on. I’ll def be back again next year!

GBDo Not Hesitate WOW, Just WOW! It doesn't seem real...But it IS! The whale encounters are an experience of a lifetime. With only 4 in the water at a time and some encounters with moms, calves and escorts lasting over an hour...Simply Incredible! We even had a singer!! It's always exciting to hear the whale's song but to be close enough to physically feel it resonate through your body... UNFORGETABLE! As for Nadia... total rockstar! Her attention to detail and knowledge of Tongan logistics are invaluable. She's operated for years on Vava'u securing access to the best resorts, boats, captains and guides. She is very quick to respond to any questions/concerns you might have pre-trip and is always available throughout your stay. Factor in her infectious energy along with the warmth and kindness of the Tongan people, and you can't go wrong. Do not hesitate to book this trip!

GBBest trip of our entire lives Best trip of our entire lives! Nadia runs an extraordinary program! Her team is the finest in Tonga and she has thought of everything. We waited years after putting down our deposit (because of Covid) and the wait was soooo worth it! Even with the 17 hour time difference, Nadia replied right away to my every question. If you are passionate about whales and epic experiences, do not miss the chance to swim with these gentle giants! Their song, gaze, curiosity and playfulness are hypnotic. Memories to last a lifetime! Thank you Nadia.. we will forever cherish our memories with you and your fabulous team.

GBSpeechless! I had the privilege of embarking on the Humpback Swims Tour in Vava'u this October, and the experience was nothing short of breathtaking. October seemed like the perfect time, with the weather in our favor, offering us pristine conditions for the swims. But what truly elevated this tour from being a mere encounter to a treasured memory was the impeccable organization and dedication of Nadia. From the moment I first reached out, she proved to be the epitome of responsiveness. Every question was addressed promptly, every concern allayed swiftly. It was clear that she possessed not only a passion for these magnificent creatures but also a genuine commitment to ensuring that every participant had the best experience possible. Meeting Nadia in person only solidified my admiration. She seamlessly orchestrated the day-to-day logistics, ensuring that each day went smoothly. Beyond her organizational skills, her warm and welcoming demeanor made every participant feel valued and at ease. If you're considering a Humpback Swims Tour in Vava'u, do yourself a favor and go with Nadia's group. The enchanting waters of Tonga, the majestic humpbacks, and Nadia's unmatched dedication combine to make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!
