The boat and crew on Ashlee G made our trip. We had the most amazing encounters with the whales and Andrew, Pukky and the rest of the crew were so determined not to let us down. They are the absolute best and made my lifelong dream come true! Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Wow swimming with those magnificent Humpback whales in Tonga, absolutely unforgettable - a must do!!
My partner and I booked a Whaleswim Adventure Tour in Tonga with Rae and her staff, in particular Lynda who organised all our accommodation and transfers. Thank you Lynda!! Great job. Everything was taken care of, which made our tour so easy. We arrived in Tonga early hours of the morning and was greeted by Anna our Taxi Driver who drove us to our accommodation for an hour or two sleep. Arriving at Vava'u we were greeted by Rae. Lovely women who gave us a lot of information on our way to our breakfast destination and met some of our group. About Lunchtime our group of 8 met for lunch with Rae and Annah (Annah our tour leader) This was an informal lunch with information as to how the Tour was to operate. Which was very nice and informative, very professional.
We found our Tour Leaders professional and to have the utmost respect for the whales, and our safety. Annah (just lovely, with lots of stories to share about whales) Noa, (the whale whisperer, with an infectious laugh) and Nisi (his youthful enthusiasm, as excited as we were when about to hit the water). Every day we swam with the whales and most beautiful, playful calves. Every day we experienced something different. On the last day we experienced the most beautiful whale song, just unforgettable. Thank you to all. We will be back. Thank you for the most wonderful experience of our lives. We want to do this again!! It was memorable!! Unforgettable!!
Thankyou!!

It was an absolute pleasure to participate in this tour. The operators were very experienced with the safety of the guests and the comfort of the whales being top priority. I am really grateful that this experience is still possible in the world.
Accommodation was comfortable and welcoming. Glad for the relaxed island life atmosphere.
Will be returning.

Whale swim Adventures really looked after us. The whole experience was just incredible. Thanks to all the crew, we didn't want to leave. It's a small group only 8 people , 4 in the water at any one time. We saw mothers & calf, & up to 4whales in a group at one time. You could hear the whale song, just amazing. We also swam on some amazing reefs as well. Would love to go back one day.
Thanks to all involved.
