Whale Song Safari Tonga | 6-Night Whale Retreat in ʻEua

Respectful Encounters

Answer the call of the ocean and experience the magic of swimming alongside wild humpback whales in the pristine waters of ‘Eua, Tonga. This unforgettable 6-night adventure snorkeling expedition offers intimate, respectful encounters with these gentle giants in one of the most untouched corners of the Pacific.

Once in a lifetime..

Situated directly on ’Eua, which lies on the main migratory route of humpback whales, the resort offers some of the best land-based whale watching in Tonga—guests often spot whales breaching or singing right off the beach.
ʻEua typically enjoys one of the longest whale seasons in Tonga.
Witness mothers nurturing their calves, listen to the haunting songs of males echoing through the water, and feel the profound stillness that only comes when you’re sharing the sea with the largest mammals on earth. This is more than a freediving retreat — it’s a rare and humbling connection with the wild.
