About the event
If you’re an adventurer and photographer looking for your next bucket-list experience, or an avid water photographer looking to take things to the next level then our Tonga Humpback Whale Experiences are for you.
Staying on the beautiful Tongan Island of Vava'u, Craig and a professional guide will take you out on the water where Craig will provide personalised support and guidance as you swim with the whales and other marine life.
For those that are interested in water photography, Craig will be on hand to provide photography tuition to help you capture the perfect image.
Each trip is strictly limited to a small group to ensure you receive maximum time in the water.
Led by internationally acclaimed and award winning photographer Craig Parry with 10 years experience in Tonga, each tour offers the chance to get up close and personal with humpback whales as they migrate through the Kingdom of Tonga.
