Whales at Matafonua Lodge – Ha’apai Tonga (July-Oct)

Come enjoy the Majesty of the mighty Humpback Whale as they migrate to our warm tropical waters for the winter months. We offer daily trips aboard our 2 vessels to watch and swim with these gentle giants. There are over 1500 Humpbacks that come to Tonga every year, and most days from the beach here at Matafonua you can see them frolic in the shallow water surrounding Foa Island.

Trips leave here daily at 9.00am returning at 4.00pm. A delicious lunch, home baked snacks and soft drinks are served onboard. Your day is spent watching and swimming with the whales, during lunch we anchor at shallow reef or uninhabited island for some great snorkeling . Your trip is led by one of our experienced and knowledgeable guides.
