Just finished producing a video for Takacat the company that makes the inflatable boat we have here at the resort. After much research we decided on this boat for its stability safety and versatility and we could not be happier 

Clear nights here in the South Pacific offer some amazing stargazing and night time photography opportunities no need to bring a weighty tripod I have 2 tripods here available for you to use

 Being really busy running the resort this year i didn’t get to spend as much time in the water with the whales, it is now a deep regret as last week we saw the last mother and baby head south for the summer feeding grounds in Antarctica. Even though i wasn’t in the water much we still had many memorable encounters with the gentle giants and here are the highlights from the video taken .

With 18 Kts of tradewinds kicking from the east yesterday was a great day to blow the dust off the windsurf gear and myself and a guest from Brazil Andreas hit the lagoon. With the wind predominantly coming from the east or ENE the lagoon is the perfect playground for these sports, go upwind a couple of hundred meters and you have a run of about 2 miles down the back of Nuku Namu using the outer reef wall for protection and getting clean crisp 18kts of wind from the Pacific Ocean it was a blast .

 The official website of the kingdom of tonga has been revamped and updated www.kingdomoftonga.com  and features on the home page one of my photos. The photo was taken at the end of last years whale season and features a mother and baby Humpback the shot was taken just off the beach in front of the resort.

The website composite has been modified to add a swimmer.
