Eua Island is widely regarded by those “in the know” as the best place to swim and photograph whales underwater in the Kingdom of Tonga! The key reasons for this are the very clear waters and the lack of competition between operators due to a small number of licenced operators only working from Eua Island.
The official whale swim season is from July 1 through to the end of October but whales can generally be seen from mid-June through to mid-November each year. Spearfishing Tonga can arrange whale swims during these time periods. It is not unusual to see whale’s whist spearfishing the waters of Eua and these “chance encounters” are simply amazing!
