Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival

We’ll arrive in Tongatapu in the afternoon and head straight to our private villa. Settle in, breathe out, and join us for a relaxed welcome dinner if you feel like it.


Day 2 – Culture & Island Rhythm

Today we’ll explore Tonga beyond the surface — coffee at a local café, a hands-on cooking class, and time wandering Nuku’alofa before beach time calls.


Days 3–5 – Into the Blue

We’ll wake early and head out with our private crew to explore pristine waters in search of humpback whales. Small groups, respectful encounters, long hours on the ocean. Evenings are slow — villa time, shared meals, and stories from the day.


Day 6 – Sunday Stillness

Today the Kingdom rests. No shops, no rush. Swim, read, wander, or simply do nothing at all.


Days 7–8 – Ocean Encounters

We’ll return to the water, exploring new areas and continuing our search for our giant companions. Each day unfolds differently.


Day 9 – Island Escape

Today we’ll sail to a small island for snorkeling, kayaking, and pure relaxation. This also serves as our weather buffer for whale days.


Day 10 – Discover Tongatapu

We’ll explore dramatic cliffs, caves, historic landing sites, and hidden beaches before a final dinner together.


Day 11 – Departure

After an early transfer to the airport we’ll wave goodbye.
