Mother and baby

I came back from my trip to Tonga in October 2012. I was a long trip for such a short period of time (three weeks, one week was only travelling…) Also the weather was unusually bad, with rain, storms, pretty cold and the whales were not that many. BUT we did have some wonderful, close encounters, mostly with mothers & calves. Above, you can see one of them. Also I met some great people!
If you ever are in that neighborhood I do recommend that you stay with Patty at the uninhabited island of Uoleva at www.serenitybeaches.com there you can go whale watching with Dave & Trisha at www.whalediscoveries.com
or, if you want to be closer to ”civilisation”, you can stay on nearby Ha’apai Island, with Brian & Sabine at their diving accomodation www.FinsnFlukes.com There you can also get whale watching services.
