Tonga Whale Swim Expedition
September 17th - 23rd, 2026
What to expect
Join us in Eua, Tonga, for a 7-day whale expedition , where you'll have the chance to swim alongside majestic humpback whales in their natural environment!
At Blue water retreat, you’ll feel like true paradise is found. We wanted to cultivate an intimate experience with just 8 people per boat and 4 in the water at a time, giving you some special time with the whales. Wake up in your beachside accommodation and experience the serenity and magic Eua has to offer.
Daily swims with humpbacks will give you ample time to connect with these creatures and experience all the playfulness they have to offer.
